You're doing it wrong. :thumbsup:

The recession must be terrible for those involved.

Fair play Martin putting new one in, most people don't realise those steel/Aluminiun tanks
rot and can be paper thin just waiting to burst. Plastic is your only man Posted Image

I was doing a tank one day and when showing the person how bad it was I literally poked my finger through it by accident, those old tanks would be paper thin

Few years ago got a call from a mega-corp to shut down all services in a big house near Leeson Park.
Informed them that this was not a good idea but was told to get on with it.
Year later asked to go back and turn everything back on as the house was to be sold.
Walked in to the basement to hear water.

Went up through the house to see the formally snow white carpets and walls covered in brown muck, plaster etc.
Old tanks had dried out and then somebody(never found out who but had my suspicions) turned everything back on without
checking or telling anybody.

'..as the Deragoth arrived, bristling with rage and hunger, Elder as any god..'
