My New Hog

It looked more like a spotted ape when I got it. I failed to take before pics., but I have finally got my used 200 gallon propane tank ready to fill. This thing was multi colored with a few rust spots. After sanding and buffing primer and paint, securing on a sound foundation, I am ready to filler up. They will only fill to 80% capacity which =160 gallons at $2.15. In my mind that is a sound investment in todays economy. I have been running off a 5 gallon bottle which normally last 3 to 4 months which fuels cook top only. We are soon to bring gas fired hot water along with a couple of gas fueled emergency lights and a space heater jack only for extreme measures.

looking good Pat-that should last you awhile ;D
2.15 seems pretty reasonable-is that the standard rate or do you get a discount for volume?

Volume plus seasonal rate. It will be going up as soon as the demand does. That is why I am wanting to get er loaded up now.
