It's T Day...

Today is T-Day..or Tank Day. All of Vin's preparations and work is coming together today. He is fitting a new cold water tank in the loft!!I'm so proud of him..he has always been good at fixing things but this is a big project even for him. He has been up and down the ladders to the loft all morning and half the afternoon doing the necessary work.
The first thing he did this morning was to fill pans and the bath with water so we had some spare, then the water was turned off. He emptied to eld tank, and brought down four or five buckets full of the filthiest sediment you have ever seen!!! The new tank has a lid on it, the old tanks didn't have to have that. Vin said there was all sorts in it..including insect wings!! Then I thought..if there are insect wings in it where are their bodies? Yuk!
He has done all the pipe work and all the soldering, he did that outside so it wasn't done in the loft itself. He has a lamp around his head, he said he got from a cheap shop for £1.99 a couple of years ago and he looks like a miner.

oh bless him!! now you should have taken a photo of him with his 'miners' lamp!!! that would have been interesting to see :)) I do so hope that Vin manages to get everything up and working soon.
