Parked my big jacked up truck on the grass at my apartment in preparation for heavy snow to make easier for landlord to plow.β I’ve parked there for 5 years now in severe winter weather.π Ώ
All the sudden as I started to park, I felt the ground collapsing. π§π§π§I through the truck was starting to sink in the mud, so I threw it in drive, just in time. By the time I was parked on the black top a 3 feet round by 5 foot deep hole opened in the ground! If you fell in the you need a ladder to get out.
Landlord thinks long abandoned septic tank collapsed under the weight of the truck and the lack of frost in the ground. Doesn’t smell like sewage and is mostly a big empty hole as it’s been inactive for decades. π½He’s going to investigate in the morning and if it’s that after the snow storm backfill the hole.
