Slow but better than paying a lot to someone
LOL burnt a pump out but not the drill.0 -
Getting rid of the old tank was a bit of a faff, newtownabbey council won't collect it so i had to cut it up into car size pieces and take it to the refuse place myself. Cutting a green tank up with an angle grinder makes you look like the hulk

I would get a hose and suck it out in mouthfuls for you for that amount. Scary.
i know we weren't planning to move so had a full 900litre tank pretty much, we found the perfect house (or so we thought) so it was a spare of teh moment thing, our drill didn't burn out and they were at it for over an hr, i'm guessing my hubby must have had the sense to stop and start it, i was heavily preg at the time so i jsut left him to it
