Reconstructing our old water reservoir

Hello guys,it's punkblogs here. For few months It's been hard for us to get adequate water supply to perform our daily needs. Water is required for everyone and almost for everything we do in our day to day life. We had a reservoir made up of concrete, probably built in 2k17. But soon after 2-3 years, there were leakages in the concrete and soon these leaked water droplets started damaging the base walls where we have our bathroom( iron rods that was put to support the reservoir started rusting). Condition got so worse that we had to break out the concrete and insert a 1000 litre tank. So this morning I went to a hardware shop to bring all the essentials that is required to fit the tank in place of the reservoir.

You can see the condition done by those leakages to the bathroom walls

From the hardware shop, I bought some elbows, tee's, m-seal and some other materials as told to me by the plumber.

So now we had to make a hole to fit the pipe inside the tank but unfortunately the plumber forgot to bring his drilling machine with him. So he tried some desi technique (jugad)😀. He got a metal rod equivalent to the circumstances of the pipe and heated it so to slide it through the tank. Well it worked fine and the hole was made accurate.

The plumber,me and my father put all the required items in its place.mostly they performed all the work and I was just a helping hand coz I don't have knowledge and practice about these things.

Now the main task was to lift the tank up to the reservoir point. For that, what we did is , tied the tank with a rope and threw one end of the rope to the plumber who climbed up to the reservoir point. Me and my father tried lifting the tank from downwards but it stucked in between the midpoint. For that my pops bought a cut bamboo piece and forced the tank upwords and it reached its destination somehow i.e mission accomplished.

Later works were performed by pops and the plumber coz while lifting up the tank, there was some water in the tank and it fell on me from those holes, so I went to change my cloths.

Although, now it's working quite fine but for today we didn't use the water. It's because we pasted some m-seals in those holes and it was a new pipe so left it to clear the pipes and the m-seals to dry. Tomorrow we will clean the remaining pipes and then it's ready to use. Now I can finally have a bath tomorrow lol.

With regards
