Oh no!Dam near cried. I got home from town to find a tree laying across my tractor. I built a real nice canopy for aluminum tube and diamond plate aluminum. I mounted LEDs under the front edge. The plate and tubing were bent nearly to the steering wheel. Cracked the plastic lens on my instrument cluster but don't see other damage whew. Glad I didn't spend the 650 on a fiberglass one. What a day.
I do the same, with a 700 gallon tank though, with it's own pump and gen set. It gives me some piece of mind and would give me something to do once the power goes out. I also "cheat" and borrow that stored water to irrigate my trees, and then re fill it in the middle of the night (so my well can keep up as there are no other calls for water), all automatic.The swimming pool is for rainwater collection. We have the raingutters from two buildings running into it. Two years ago we had a wildfire burn right up to our driveway. That pool holds 10,000 gallons. Fire up a pump and set up the sprinkler system. Power is the first thing shut off near a wildfire... Your well is worthless so... Having 10k to irrigate the orchard and greenhouse. It's nice and smart insurance where the nearest fire dept is an hour away. Besides during hot days of 24 hour daylight the grandkids sure like it.
Good news buddy, congrats, just don't over do it.I mowed around the house!!! I called the Doc and ASKED if I could mow cause around the house was looking reallllllllly ratty like cut and bale ratty.
