THE BIG TANK MOVE!
05 years
Wow! We moved the big tank!
For weeks now we have been pumping (bit by bit) the water from our bottom tank up to our top tank, it had run dry because of the drought, we haven’t had rain at home since November 2019 and although Mum and I are careful we have to water all our animals as well. Mum bought a pump which can run off our solar power and in the hot, sunny afternoons we pumped water.
Eventually there was only a little bit of water left, we were ready to go!
Uncle John brought a big flat trailer down and some friends and they heaved and swore and sweated, eventually got the tank sort of on the trailer.
They tied it on and off they set…about 100 mtrs up our paddock they had to stop and tie it on again because it kind of fell off a bit. I was worried that might happen on the road but about an hour later we got a picture from uncle John…they had got there in one piece!

Today we built the tank-stand!
It was hot sweaty work but we got there in the end!
We had a bit of difficulty getting it square but by using levers and a pulley system we figured it out. I put nearly all the bolts in and put nuts and washers on the all by myself.
I think it will hold our tank up no worries! We are going to make an outdoor shower underneath the tank-stand so we need to get some plumbing things for that and then we need to cement the posts and the shower floor so we will have to get some metal and sand for the cement…Maybe by next week we can put the tank up? I’m excited to see it on it’s stand.
