The septic tank is buried, which means to get to the covers on the top of it, you actually have to dig them up. My grandparents had a septic tank (which was used before city sewar) and it's lid was slightly above ground. I wondered why the installers couldn't have been bothered to put the lids at least level with the ground. Then the toilets drained out, causing it to overflow. Then I understood why they buried it :-)

Filmed in Port Richmond, Staten Island, NY on 1/29/2011. While I was filming this video, a man shoveling snow, standing behind me, told me that those cars (in the first shot) had been parked there for a month. This is Decker Avenue in Staten Island. A lovely street with early 20th century homes, and where people like to display their American flags. I love houses with wraparound porches. I wish that style hadn't gone out of fashion. In Staten Island there are still quite a few left.
