Construction - Week 1

We found the perfect place for the fish tank, it's an old coal bunker that was filled with dirt.
After digging it out and finding a whole buckets worth of bones (!!!) we lined it with HDPE plastic sheeting and anchored it with a wooden frame.


On our first fill up, we encountered a problem; the hole in the bottom right corner was bulging, and as we tried to fix it, we punctured it and had to empty it (see Hamish's video in an earlier blog post).

Once it was empty, we patched it with duct tape and refilled it.

Here's the fish tank after properly filling, with a wire mesh screen to keep the cats out:
