The New Tank

The windmill has been pulled; the new solar pump is being installed today. The boys worked hard over the last week, in between the rain days, to get all the bits and pieces in place. Having the mill bore operational and pumping water to this new tank and a second one in the laneway provides a separate water supply to the existing bore. It's a good backup. It means that a trough that's been dry since we moved here will now have a water supply and will feed 2 paddocks. Previously, when cattle were in these paddocks, the trough at the yards was their closest water supply.

The local man came with his digger.

I was unable to be there so my usual role as QA Officer was taken by Drew; here's the proof of a job well done.

Cuddles for Coco.

Finished and waiting for the fittings.
