Harper, that oil tank is nifty. I guess a truck comes with a hose and fills it up? Some people out here in the country use propane, but we have always used natural gas and electric in the city. It might take me some time to get the tile photo. DH has the project somewhere, but where? If he can't find it I'll ask the renter's permission.

Sherrie, I'm not going to fire DH because he actually did bail the cistern and it did have the world's biggest salamander in it. The bee guy is really sweet (and probably sober), but he works nights and is glazed from lack of sleep. He left here the first day and called two hours later to say he had left his smoker burning on the deck. :) I can't be to hard on anyone as long as the toilet has water and I can shower after coming in from the garden on these 95 degree days.

The bee guy got another neighbor to come down early with a giant tractor that's much more powerful than mine. I didn't realize he had driven a big flat bed truck with dozens of bags of Sakrete on it. The damage to the fence is pretty bad. Three sections and three or four posts. We had just dragged the road a month ago and it looks like a mine field where he got stuck. So here are some pics....
