New Additions

Day 6 of work or What a way to spend your birthday.

On Saturday (8/14/2010), I purchased a new 245 G (72Lx30Wx36T). The only problem is that I only had my cousin to help move the tank once I got it home. Here is how we managed to do it.

1) First we removed the tank from my van onto a wagon that had inflatable wheels. (Notice we used the suction cups, they were a life saver)



2) Next we nailed 2x8s to the stairs to slide the tank down ...
