Thanks to the ChCh earthquake, we now have a new water tank!

If you look below the tank is no longer in the middle. It shifted 6 inches in the quake and we were concerned it would fall through the office roof and squash the staff. EQC were great and approved a replacement.

So I worked magic and got the contractors sorted and now the old tank is down and new one in – all in a day! new pump goes in tomorrow!

You can see below how close the old tank/stand was to the office. The new tank is great though, 13,650 litres actually! (chose the smaller one).

New view out the kitchen. I guess we need to plant some trees! Glad to have a safe water supply now though and stoked that EQC and Westpac came to the party quickly. Much appreciated!
