I tried, really I did but after several hours and getting only 15% uploaded on the video or on another attempt actually getting 54% uploaded only to have the internet kick me off I have decided to at least show you some photos of the tank stand and tank being put up.
Before anything could even begin this truck had to be pushed out of the way
The barbed wire fence had to be cut (the crane wouldn't fit through the gate) and luckily the crane didn't run over our tomato plants!
The boys were heading back to school after their mid-term break, but they had to stick around to watch the action.
The crane wasn't tall enough to put the stand up easily. It took several discussions, cutting off pieces, welding, tugging and manipulating (translations-several hours) but....
eventually the stand was up.
Then it was time for the tank. There were times we thought the crane might puncture it, but thankfully it too was finally put into place.
What an afternoon it was, but we are thankful no one was hurt (no safety glasses, hard hats, safety harnesses, etc. were used).
The past few days the compound was being prepared for piping the water throughout for use in the shambas and clothes washing basins and into the home for the sink near the bathrooms and kitchen sink!
Soon no more washing clothes and dishes in buckets.....
Wash basins for clothes are almost complete and water is being piped into the home!
Again, sorry for no video….but I won’t give up and perhaps one day you’ll see it!
