T.I.B.E.T (The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank)

The leg tank came in earlier this week, but when we went to pick it up, they couldn't find it. They were really nice about the whole thing, they offered us a couple of fittings/valves/etc. for free as an apology. Friday they said they found it, so Kevin made the trip up to the opposite end of the city, when they were loading the tank they dropped it and won't sell it to us. They are concerned the fall could have damaged the tank. A new tank has been reordered, with a discount, and the aforementioned ...

I just have no luck it seems, I got laid off yesterday. There seem to be no jobs in my field, as I've been looking for about 3 months now. I'm looking for other jobs, but who knows whats out there.

I called this morning and am trying to cancel the order for the water container, so I'm just waiting to hear back from them. In the mean time while I look for a job I guess I'll do what I can on our basement renovation; such as taking debris to the dump, cleaning up, and using up any supplies ...

I just finished placing my order for the second to last piece of our automatic water change system; a HDPE Heavy Duty Horizontal Leg tank. Last purchases are actual plumbing parts, but I've learned my lesson about pre-ordering before I've figured out 100% what I'm trying to accomplish.
