Our WWIII Nuclear Fallout shelter has arrived, complete with 2 fully rotating gun turrets. Installation is underway.

Just kidding. This is the water tank for the stormwater management system. 25,000 litres of water storage. It is composed of three pieces with what are pretty much gigantic exhaust clamps to hook them together. Concrete is poured on the inside of the tank as well once placed.

The water from the house gutters goes into a filter bed first (with plants), then into this tank, and then the outflow goes down the hill 1000ft to a stream.

Needless to say this is massively over engineered. The excavators think it is pretty cool, as does Audrey.

Kristin was driving back to our old house when she passed these on an articulating truck on Skyline and she thought they must be for some huge commercial project somewhere. Ha!
