Water Tank!

Hello Interested Readers...or maybe you're just curious! Well, we bought the dump truck and the man delivered it as promised. A few days later my DH used the dump truck to go and pick up the backhoe. My DH got the backhoe loaded and hooked the hitch to the dump truck and made way for the 20 minute drive home. Then something "caught" in the gearshift. Now, I don't have all the technical jargon but I can tell you that it was not the transmission, it was a lever in the shifter that got caught and made "3rd" gear the only gear that he could drive in.  So, the 20 minute trip became nearly an hour driving with no air conditioning and going about 15 miles per hour with the hazards on during rush hour. To top it off, a tire blew up somewhere along the way and the 6 tire trailer became a 5 tire trailer. However, he got it home and everything is safe. Since then he has fixed the gearshifter. This did not cost anything....oh!! except for the pressure washer that he said he REALLY needed to clean off some of the parts before putting it back together. I think I was played a little, but I'm going to use it to wash my car. :)

The next item on the "To Get" list is a water storage tank. There is no water on the property yet. We have access to a community well where we are able to get 8,000 gallons a month, so we needed a place to store it.  We have been all over craigslist and also calling on leads from anyone who gives us a name and a number.  The largest tank we had found until now was 5,000 gallons and it was for $2500. However, it was a galvinized tank and my DH wanted a plastic one. So, the search continued.

Finally! I found "IT!" A 10,000 gallln container, huge! The nice part, only $1,000. Amazing. We emailed the ad and got no response, in fact, we got no response for so long we just assumed that it was sold. However, this weekend we got the email that the seller was in the hospital and that's why she didn't respond. The business called us today and they said that the container is ours. It's so large that we have to get a permit to move it! We are taking measurements and finding out what the regulations are to move this monsterous water storage tank.

Just another item to check off the list, but it is amazing how it's all working together. Next on the list, a water trailer to be able to haul the water from the well to our storage tank.

Pray for our neighbors! So far these items are out front just filling the cul-de-sac. Pray that our neighbors have tolerance and that we are not in their way.

God is so good!

Blessings to you!
