Default Re: What I Did on My Lunch Hour

Really hate to hear about your continued bad luck with inept contractors. The garage door situation isn't quite as bad as the professional that installed and "tied-down" your propane tank. Your tank looks to be a 1000 gallon unit. Could ya ever imagine that an empty 1000 gal. tank produces about 6977 pounds of buoyancy (lift) in fresh water, even considering the average weight of the empty vessel itself at 1725 lbs? No way those "weenie" auger-type tie-downs pictured ever had a chance. DD
