The Winching Wench is now put in the Tank....

And here I thought my own personal house hell would be this! Picking out paint colors from Curt's ginormous box of paint colors!


As you can see I take it seriously, but really there is just so many to choose from! Curt likes neutral colors and I like, well, color.  But I digress. 


What really was my personal house hell is what I did last night after work! It all looks like fun and games until I'm actually in the tank.



Because this is what awaited me!



Stupid, stupid water people did not listen to Curt and did not put the correct first filter in. So all the stuff on the roof got in the tank. Then sat there for a month and algae grew. This needed to be clean out so that our water would start out nice and clean. Fortunately I have one of the best friends in the whole world who VOLUNTEERED to help me out.



Stephanie! You rock as always! She is mighty good with a scrub brush and hose. As long as I feed her wine, she will stay hours..... It really didn't take that long. It all came off really easy. We rented a pump and sucked all the bad water out and used some bleach in the cleaning water.



Then we wiped it all down with some micro fiber towels while Curt ran back and forth to squeeze them out for us. 


In the end we have a super clean tank!


Passed Curt's inspection.


But it is with much trepidation that I look in to the other ones. 


However, they are not dirty, just a quick pump out of the old water and a wipe down with some bleached rags should do the trick. 

Who says I never do anything fun on a week night?!
