Genesis of a Water Tank

The water tank was finished over the weekend (see the pictures below as it takes shape).  We now have 200,000 litres of storage capacity.  As of Sunday night we had 36,000 litres of water delivered.  Watch my prediction come true.  We wont get any rain now we have a tank till next winter.  The plan is to have 2 of these tanks but we may have to save for awhile to afford the second tank.

The weekend also saw the leach drains finally all in the ground and back filled.  The excavation for the shed pad was started and mostly completed.  We are hoping to do the concrete pour for the shed floor at the same time as the house this coming Wednesday.  The shed components are on site and waiting for a concrete pad to start building the shed (hopeful that we can put the shed up next weekend)

The concreter dropped around on Sunday and ran all the string lines to define the edges of the concrete pad for the house.  The plumber uses these string lines to measure the locations of the sewerage pipes for the pre-lay.  The plumbing pre-lay is happening first thing Monday morning and involves Dave the plumber and Brett with the mini excavator digging the trenches.  Lots of activity.  Hopefully Wednesday night we have a house pad.  Keep watching this space......
