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

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.

In my case, it was few years earlier - we moved in 1977. So, I've had
longer to recover.
