Miller time continues.
The garage floor
Progress on the sewer line project:
The gas bottle
pad is ready. It awaits a full gas
bottle before it can be put to use. A
trip to town should solve the problem.
(Some places hesitate to fill the old bottles because they haven’t been
inspected and approved. A lady in a
white car with official state plates shut down one supplier for filling an
uninspected bottle.)
The water trailer woes continue:
The pipe frame
was meant for a 150-gallon tank. The 300-gallon
tank stressed it to the point of failure.
Apparently, as the tank got full, the back uprights spread, the rear of
the tank sank, the water surged back, and the trailer went with
the flow.
Anyway, when I
went to get the water, I found the disaster.
It took 4 trips with buckets and jugs to get the tank empty so I could
set things right. It took a while to
water the trees that way.
The tank went
back to the shop. I got things
straightened out, but before I got to the windmill, the tank and its frame started to slide off the trailer fame. It all stayed
on the trailer, but it was back to the shop.
This time, I fastened it to the trailer more securely and welded some support pipes to
keep things from spreading.
The “new” tractor worked fine lifting the tank back onto trailer to get things back in place.
