The big tear, however, will not be so easy if possible to fix.Liberal application of 100 mph tape will ensure years of usage. While not aesthetically pleasing to gaze upon, HH6 might allow a continuance of service pending a complete overhaul, of course only after Chief pleads his case as to why he failed to secure loose equipment...

Wow....those are beasts. Cool price too! I just wish for a day I had a bug in your neighbor's kitchens every time you come wheeling in with something like this. Dang I would pay to hear those conversations.
Yep, great score. Half of what you do reminds me of the "dirty jobs" show.So did you wash them or assign a pre ranger to it?
Wow, nice score!How 'bout filling them and add a couple gallons of bleach just to be on the safe side?

Curious Don. With all you have invested in that place why don't you have a well drilled?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I'm sure they'd get a kick out of watching you squirm through the hole to get inside and scrub!
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
They certainly cleaned up pretty good. You maybe could try a portable sprayer to shoot some bleach in, but really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. And there's a good possibility it won't do anything more anyhow. A beauty of a score none the less. Those big fittings are definitely spendy. May want to reduce to two inch stuff, still carry a lot of volume, but not break the bank for tying together and making a manifold of sorts.

I'm going to bring the manifold down to 2", then down to 1 1/4 to 1" for various plumbing.Eventually I'll mount a 115VAC pressure pump and run either a 3/4" or a 1" line all the way up to the shed area.
I think cut the top off of one and use it as a hot tub! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did a run of 3/4" from near the house to the coop, 110' or so feet, I notice the difference. Then I added another 200 or so feet to the garden in 3/4" with two 90* bends in it, most certainly wish I would have went 1". I'm not a hydrologist nor did I stay anywhere last night that might have made me smarter, so this could just be a placebo effect my brain is making up....
I can see it now. There is Don on the farm squeezing in (nice HF chair BTW) and it starts to roll. Ends up in the pond with his body weight acting like a bobber in the tank.

Ends up in the pond with his body weight acting like a bobber in the tank.I was not a Besvis and Butt head fan but I did see one clip of one of them rolling down a hill in a big tire....made me think of that. I agree getting enough pump (and proper sizing) to keep pressure strong wherever you run it. I wss thinking for fire suppression too although I'm guessing a gas powered pump from the pond would be better than using thsee tanks for that. You can buy used fire hose cheap as departments replace them all the time used or not.
Chief, all joking aside, there's not a lot of flat KY ground at your place. I assume you're excavating the site prior to placement etc, but how much do those things weigh?? did you load them yourself or leave them on the trailer during cleaning?
