Incidentally how can one get rid of a metal galvanised water tank

without inviting angle grinder man to burn your house down?


The fire brigade use scissors-like cutters for getting people out of
crashed cars. Probably hydraulic, rather than compressed air. I doubt
they'll come and remove your water tank for you, so perhaps you can make
it into a decorative feature?






In our previous house, I hired an industrial quality jig saw and chopped up
the old tank into pieces small enough to go through the hatch.


I did much the same in 1979 but with a B&D drill with a jigsaw
attachment. But I'm not sure any of us were ever the same afterwards.
