Unfortunately, ours is leased so we can't paint it, but several people who own their tanks paint black splotches on them to look like cows and attach "cows heads" cut out of plywood and painted.

We bought a property up in Tuscumbia, AL and the tank had been painted like a giant Texas watermelon (think striped)! We loved it and so did the new buyers. I think your idea of painting it in quilt blocks would be wonderful, but a lot of work. Your suggestion of dirt color has merit if your other activities preclude your time. You are one busy woman!!!<br /><br />Oh yes, and changing over from electric to gas is always an excellent choice! I love my new gas stove. llswinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13014241897783524113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-57521630544596937172019-02-14T03:18:51.902-05:002019-02-14T03:18:51.902-05:00Just think of it as necessary replacing or upgradi...Just think of it as necessary replacing or upgrading & how much you're going to enjoy the upcoming replacements and probably save energy, also!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591123879756027904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-64769457301549563222019-02-14T00:30:53.424-05:002019-02-14T00:30:53.424-05:00We lived at the top of a steep hill for thirty-eig...We lived at the top of a steep hill for thirty-eight years, and we always warned the delivery people about the driveway.

Men just don't have common sense, I had work done in my home an the washer and dryer needed to be moved into the kitchen over night as only one person was going to be working on the job the next day. No problem except I needed to get to the sink and the appliances were blocking that half of the kitchen. They had no idea what to do until I suggested one of them stopped by in the morning on the way to the other job sight and help move said appliances. I got the why didn't I think of that look. Such a simple common sense idea.<br />Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219082337396129237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-89730015922338381352019-02-13T12:27:38.667-05:002019-02-13T12:27:38.667-05:00I love the fabrics you got from Japan!

Then when you mentioned "the color of dirt", I realized you didn't have to go to that trouble--the elements will do that for you. So: do you want to keep washing the tank to reveal whatever it is you decide to paint on it? If not, don't choose something you want people to see and enjoy!cbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417290733581551242noreply@blogger.com
