They all wussed out. All talk and no action. Me and the Bro rode around and looked at all the damage from the water. This state is a mess and I can just imagine what Iowa looks like as our was just a flash flood and theirs is still happening.

Well here is the latest update to the tank saga. Just got done adding a automatic backup generator since the electric company can't keep us with power here lately. Told Mommy is was to keep her and the kids comfortable and she just laughed.......

All I am waiting now for is the breaker to feed the panel that I had to order and she will be up and running.

This was as cheap as I could find one and not pay out the butt for lift gate shipping. It is shipped free from here. I have no ideal what it would take for install as I done my own.

Incredible.

Supposably Is a word in the American language that is often wrongly confused with the word 'supposedly'. 'Supposably' can be used only when the meaning is 'capable of being supposed,'"She was supposably going out to the windswept steppes with her friends, but she's really cheating on me."

Congrats on the generator. Wife and I only had 1 tank crash in 9 years and it happened when an ice storm knocked out our electricity for 6 days. We did everything we would think of to maintain heat in the tank but as the room temperature fell into the 30's there was just no way to keep up. Part of my planned set-up for our 265 includes a 19 kW generator. Wife says we don't loose power often enough to need this but I can't bear the thought of watching all that hard work crash again.

Once you get a lot of money invested it's worth the insurance. If I only use it once a year then it paid for itself. Mommy still is a little bitter about the price but she will be thankful the first time the power goes out and we are comfortable.

BTW, thanks for the awesome thread. I stumbled across 3reef this afternoon and I've now spent several hours reading through to page 49. You will serve as my inspiration... I've been dreaming of doing something very similar and you clearly shoe that it can be done. All I need now is lots of time, lots of reading, even more patience, oh and a bit of pocket change.

Just make sure when you do it that you take a lot of pics and post them here in a tank thread.
