ROUGH COST OF THIS PROJECT: 30,000 GALLON TANK- $16,000 USD PVC pipes and fittings and gutter works - $4,000 USD (very rough estimate) My time and labor- hard to quantify.  The steel for the retaining wall was probably around $1,000 USD. Tractor purchased used probably still retains 90% of it's value Other tools and welders obviously cost money. Sand and rocks- About $1,000 all said Refurbished pump- $500 Backflow preventers and other fittings- $1,000 [MEDIA=youtube]cuu3e3t-qlc[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
