Beginning to cut a slot for the water tank and its stand

Day 2 of chiseling
All 3 of these shots are of the same thing

Day 3
Done!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So that the above make sense, here's the slot with the stand in place; level, straight and true.
|
The contents of the slot has filled the wash at the bottom of our driveway, 4" to 6” deep.
|
The stand is positioned for flipping into its slot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And there it is.
|
Now the tank. In the full screen image, you can just make out the falling snow.
|
With a cable wrapped around boulders, the tank has been winched to this point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Likewise, it is beginning to move uphill.
|
It is in place and ready to be lifted.
|
Lifting with a leverage bar and the winch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There she is!
Ain't she beautiful!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two hoses and a 10 foot PVC pipe are taped together to vacuum the tank.
|
Though much of the inner rust fell as it moved, this is what vacuumed out.
|
An old bent rebar serves well as a storage rack for the empties.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is its name plate and a best-guess interpretation.
|
All this for 250 gallons? I guess
some things just have to be done.
