As regular readers of this blog would know, the water tank that sits up behind the mango trees, and is filled with water from our bore, has been in a rather sorry state for a couple of years. The crack in the cement tank split a apart about 18 months ago and the plastic/vinyl liner has been splitting and leaking. It was time to get a new tank. So Steve and Cal prepared the base a couple of weeks ago, digging out and levelling a spot adjacent to the old tank.
Here is the nicely finished level spot, which ultimately had to have a cement edge to one side of it to stop the road base from washing out.
And this is our new tank, sitting on its pad and waiting to be hooked up to the water pipe. Hopefully Steve will be able to sort out the various pipes and soon we'll be filling it up with sweet bore water.

So how's the tank? Is Steve doing well with his job? LOL. Your measures were pretty precise. It would feel good to work on it with a friend.
