Day 39 Water water everywhere and now a drop to drink

We tackled the water pump today.  It had a problem of just running and running if the water tank was at half full.  It worked fine when the tank was full.  Go figure.  We replaced the pump--no difference.  Thought of replacing the water line.  Instead, we hooked it up to one of the tanks and it ran just fine.  Shut off after the system got pressurized.  That only left the manifold that controlled all four water tanks leading to the faucets.  Took it out and found a valve had been put on wrong years ago.  Bought a new one, installed it, hooked up all the lines, bled the system and now it runs fine.  We now have access to all 265 gallons in our tanks!!  Yea!  We didn't want to leave with only the use of half a tank.  

Tonight, the city put on a fireworks show.  Don't know what is so special about today but it sure was a great show.  

If the weather is nice tomorrow, we may get the fiberglass done on the forward tank.  Let's all hope for a 65 degree day.
