My locals are saying..."I just had to ask."

And it's all Helen's fault.  ;)

Following a tip from her, I bought a 1000 litre water tank from ebay, and I thought I'd arranged to have delivered in the first week of the school holidays.

I came home tonight to find it left in front of the front door.  And it was at this point I realised, that although I'd measured carefully where it was going to go, I hadn't actually given any thought as to how it was going to get there.

At its narrowest point, it's 40cm wider than the gate.  And too heavy for the three of us to lift over.

We've had to take down a fence panel, and both sides of the greenhouse frame...

Not one of my more glorious days.  Oops...  :)

Have you fitted the glass yet?

(Obviously not if its all in bits again ;)_

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Lucky the tank was delivered early...

A MIRACLE!

Have you checked your Marmite jar lids recently?

Maybe someone is watching over you.

Hahahaha ... {evil chuckle - my work here is done}

Stilll, you got it in okay. which is more than I did. Found the perfect 1500 lite tank and then got distracted and forgot to bid for it.

Been there done that.  We ended up lifting it over a neighbours fence with 6 people (in our case it was a 4.5kL tank).
