comment How do I install a washing machine when the drain is 7.5 feet high?
I feel like some sort of critical information for understanding this question is missing, like why you have less than 6 inches to connect.

For anybody ever reading this in the future: be careful about opening your own septic tank. Sewer gases can be fatal.

comment Do coal stoves lead to creosote buildup/chimney fire risk?
Having worked with coal-fired steam locomotives, I can say that even capably-fired coal leaves build-up. Just like we must clean our fire tubes, the asker needs to clean his chimney. We have the advantage of always tending our fire to ensure good combustion and have a short hot flue. A fireplace or stove lacks both those advantages. Clean your chimney. Chimney fires are awful (former firefighter too).
