Our pretty new oil tank




Sooo I was down in the basement doing laundry the other day and Mike had just got home from work- He came downstairs to say hello to me and noticed that the basement smelled faintly of oil. He went over to inspect the oil tank and realized there was some rust on the tank and a teeny tiny line of oil that was running down the side of the tank( aka leaking). So in hopes of preventing finding 275 gallons of oil floating in our basement we had a whole new tank installed. They jackhammered the concrete to bury the oil line that runs from the tank to the furnace underground- so since it was going to be noisy and smelly- we spent the day at the park and Barnes and Nobles. Now we have a pretty new and leak free tank in our basement. I can't think of a better way to spend 1500 dollars.....

$1,500 - Ouch that hurts! What's next? Another reason we are glad about Austria--our house expenses are covered for.

Keira looks warm in those pictures.

Niki loves to watch her grow along with Dominic.
