Wait. That’s not the new tank.... did you just bring it up from the basement?

From former’s basement, to current dining room.  We handed over the keys on Wednesday night. 
 

Wifey wanted to do a lot of things to the new house re: painting and flooring.  So there was never a chance to set up the new tank prior to move as planned 🤷🏻‍♂️.  But now the basement is completely re-finished, it’s gonna be a much more enjoyable space to relax with the tank.

Moving days - today and tomorrow. Tank will be the last thing to move.  
new tank location, the walls still need a new coat of paint. 

Going to be a nice space buddy. Is that a little closet to the right? Or should I say sump/filter room??

Thanks!  That’s where the incoming water line and the water meter is hiding. Really tiny, not worth stashing anything.

In the south, we have our water meters a few feet from the curb and they're in a contained little box in the dirt.  As a boy, those were the BEST spots to find toads as they enjoyed the cool/dark area.  I assume the frogs stayed fat and healthy with the worms and bugs that fell down in there.  

 

No idea why I'm sharing this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I thought a water meter indoors was odd to me, so maybe the idea of a meter being installed/buried in folks' front yard would be equally strange to you?

Lived with it both ways, those meter boxes needed to have the magnets removed, watched them pull at least a dozen mailtrucks right over top.

The end of an era....this tank will be taken down tomorrow.  Only a few more pieces to remove and transfer.
