• That's a bit more than I was expecting

    Cheaper and similar sized ones are of course available, but they're even more fugly. My next door neighbour came to have a socially-distanced chat while I was bolting it to the front of the house, and didn't immediately scream 'Aaaaaahhhh, my eyes' so I'm taking it that he approves. Or at least doesn't object to its presence too vociferously.

    But then I guess it's pretty large.

    That's what I thought. The tap (missed from the original shipment) arrived today so I drilled the outlet hole, fitted the tap, and switched the diverter from 'Closed' to 'Open'. It's already full. I'm now having prepper dreams of multiple 1000 litre reservoirs underground in the gardens to free me from the tyranny of mains water supply. The problem round here is that, due to the level of the water table, underground structures have a nasty habit of floating to the surface if not very firmly weighted in place. One of the local petrol stations found that out to their cost a while back with one of their underground fuel tanks.
