Water Tank Has Arrived!

It was like Christmas but in Spring, but last weekend we took delivery of our 30,000LTR water tank!  

Crazy... I'm all excited over a water tank!

The building company had quoted for a 25,000LTR water tank but I decided to do this part myself.  I spent some time hunting around getting an idea of tanks, sizes and prices.  I decided to go for the biggest tank I can get, as I know I'm a little wasteful when it comes to water use.

So for a little more than what I was going to pay for the 25,000LTR tank, I got an amazing deal for the 30,000LTR tank from Promax!

I searched trademe, various websites and signed up to a couple of mailing lists, and one day at work I received an email with a deal that I couldn't refuse so I was straight on the phone to the company. I paid straight away and arranged delivery for a month later. We don't actually need the tank yet, but it's arrived!



Below is not the final resting place, it was a bit too wet for the delivery truck to deliver the tank to it's final resting place, and the Commodore wouldn't have been able to pull it out if the truck got stuck, I've already got the Commodore stuck once, so for now, it is tied up to the fence, just so it doesn't blow away.
 

So one day, we will need some extra hands to move the tank into place. The delivery guy said 6 people can tip it on it's side and roll it to where it needs to go. So we need 4 more people! HELP!!!
