Chapter 8.2

About August again, we had found the water tanks on Ebay to suit us.
We ordered them and awaited a call for a delivery date.
The first one to be delivered was the smaller header tank.

We had not received a call but was not worried as we weren't actually in a hurry as yet.
I had called the farm house early September to talk to the tenant about something where he mentioned that a tank had been sitting way up on the back road in to the property for about a month now which would have been delivered not long after the ordering of all tanks.
Maybe they had the 5000 litre already sitting in site to be delivered, the larger ones would have had to be produced.

I contacted my contact for the water tanks who was astounded that the tank was just placed in the middle of no-where ,where it could have been taken by any one
My contact then contacted the company that delivers the tanks to sort it out.

I was assured that the correct tank would arrive in a day or so......a few days later I received a call here in Sydney, from a man who was up just out side Grafton on the way out to deliver a new smaller tank and he would be picking up the tank left on the road...
Again a comedy of errors......

It was about a week later that the large tanks arrived.
A 30000 litre and a 24500 litre

By this time James had arrived to receive the tanks.

The tanks are now in location awiting the arrival of a crane to lift them into their respective places.
