Pumping out the water tank for the very last time

0600 hours and Chris (You Dump It, We Pump It) Armstrong arrives on site with his sewage tank emptying machine - a giant vacuum cleaner. We have puzzled for long enough wondering how we could pump the tank absolutely dry before it was insulated and roofed. Chris came to the rescue with this novel idea. Besides having a dirty job he has a good sense of humour. The notice on the back of his lorry reads 'CAUTION Stool Bus'.

The Stool Bus watch dog, Heidi.

A sewage pipe runs up the main staircase.

On the dot of 0900 hours Sprayseal arrive to do the insulation. Click on the warning sign on the back of the sewage lorry.

Here at the other end of the pipe Chris Armstrong is sucking out the very final drops of water from the tank. Note the sunshine which quickly dried out any remaining dampness.
