Update on water tanks

I just got back from my personal challenge of scrapping the community water tanks. I have been viewing posts, but devoted all of my time over the last two months to the project instead of updates. Now that the challenge has been completed and I hauled the last load instead of being buried under it, I will update you on the process. Thank you to all of you that provided ideas and support.



First this is a history of my challenge and meant for entertainment, not educational purposes. Although some may benefit from some of my experiences, I am not an expert nor a professional in this type of work.

This was an enormous project with almost 70 tons of steel by the end. Completed in six and a half weeks by a one man crew with the help of one of my sons for one week. I did have additional help from the water district managers and several local farmers. They provided ideas and helped with certain challenges. I want to thank them for their help.

I will be posting this in a series of posts from start to finish. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed completing the project.
