We had to dig back about another foot.
Tank is in, but I didn't dig deep enough, so I'm spray foaming the top 1/2 of the tank tomorrow to help prevent frost or freezing.
I'll load more pictures soon

Had lots of fun today with Doug, he was well prepared and very cool to deal with. I knew I was in the right place when I showed up and he offered me a beer but unfortunately I cant stand the stuff so more for him ha ha. Burial was pretty straight forward, hole could have been a foot deeper but some spray foam is gonna take care of the frost worry with a shallow burial, other than that its in the ground and ready to be filled and supply them with some Calcium free water! One of my favorite things is to get out and meet people and no dissapointments today, sometimes my job doesnt feel like work and today was like that, Thanks again for the buisness and I hope to see you on the hill sometime.

He’s gonna need a bigger hoe.

Looking good, the reason the tank is shallow was because the trackhoe could not dig much deeper because of its reach and we added 6" more of gravel under than we should have, its fine to be shallow except that freezing is a bit of an issue but Doug fixed that problem, good job man!

Yes, 11’ straight down, but not much more than 8 extended.
Also, this was my first time operating a skid steer, so there is some human error lol
