The oil tank.

Zan’s been working on these photomontages of the back yard. I think they look great but we need lots of landscaping help. Calling all gardeners, Any suggestions! Before we can start landscaping we need to decommission the oil tank. We dug down to expose the oil tank today and cut a small hole it. We hired an oil recycling company to come pump out the tank. We had approximately 90 gallons of oil in the tank which was pumped out. Next, we cleaned the tank by the triple rinse process in which we basically spayed the insides of the tank with water and dish soap and pumped it out. This was repeated three times, after which the tank is sufficiently cleaned and now we can fill it with sand to finalize the decommissioning process. More pictures to come when we fill the tank and further as we begin to lay our new terrace. I’m also working on cleaning out the garage as I move to make it a functioning wood shop. We salvaged a ton of wood throughout our demo process and I starting sorting it today.
