Holding Tank Construction

Construction of a holding tank and drain hose. The components for the tank cost about $85, which was competitive with the cost of a standard tank + shipping (the shipping is almost as much as a tank!). 12" pipe would be better, I think, but this is what I got. At 10 1/2' long, the tank capacity is roughly 25 gallons. The pipe was originally 14 1/2' long (40 gallons), but this is what I could fit under the bus. I fiddled with a steel rod hanging system, but ended up using something simple -- ROPE! I am confident that it will work. It will need inspection and replacement from time to time, but it was EASY and CHEAP (I already had the rope).
