the big black tank




So this morning I towed some more lumber over too the cabin. Everytime I go too the cabin by boat I see this big black something. Today I thought I would investigate. It was a huge water tank. It had been battered around a bit..but it was full of water..that means no leaks. I dug around in the rocks..found the drain. Managed to open it with my leatherman..drained the water..and it was easily moveable. Jana will have to climb inside and clean out the creapy crawling things and push out a few dents. Not sure what we are gonna use it for......any suggestions?

Lots of excitement around town today..last night a barge came in with new equipment/men/supplies to rebuild the bridges in town. Plus our nearests neighbors to our cabin arrived for the summer. There is some more cabins down the beach about a kilometer from us. Now we are just waiting for the wimbush/hols...should be here in an hour!!

  2. Jana, make sure there isn't already a "body" in that tank, before you climb in...

  3. Could you use it to collect rainwater for the yard and garden??? Love your blog! You two seem to be creating a wonderful living space for yourselves and your family. Auntie Ann and Uncle Ross

  4. Now that's a Treasure!! PS Jana, I'd make John clean out the big black beast! Use it for an outdoor shower, or to hold water for the wood burning hot tub you should build that can hold us Oona neighbours? Courts :)
