All in the name of h2o

See these faces?

They're the faces of two little Hatchlings who knew that two BIG water tanks were about to be delivered.

The Hatchlings also knew they'd see a bunch of blokes moving them across a steep hill (rather a perilous maneovre) in order to get them into Union Jack's desired water tank location. Union Jack's face looked much the same as the Hatchlings' faces that morning.

With the smaller tank already in place, the big 10,000 litre tank was delivered to our lovely neighbour's house. Their long driveway meant the tank was closer to where it needed to be that way.

Union Jack had a few ideas he needed to share with his willing assistants:
"Errr, it needs to go over there..."

Don't try this at home kids...

The tank man scuttled into and out of the tank like the seasoned professional that he is - much to the astonishment of the Hatchlings.

How many blokes does it take to move a water tank?

The tank was off and rolling (in a controlled manner) in no time.

There is no shortage of the male of the species around our place:
  • 4 big ones moving the tank,
  • 6 little ones watching them move it.

In a remarkably uneventful few minutes, the boys had the tank right where they wanted it. With a bit of a twist and a tilt - the tank made it to its new home.

"Easy" said Outback Joe.

He's got a mischievous face, that one. I reckon we'll see a bit more of Outback Joe before long...

  1. Looks great - much more exciting than when ours will be delivered! Though we had an exciting Friday with a cement truck right outside our loungeroom window. That window washing before Christmas was worth it...not...
