The title pretty much sums it up. I need to install a pressure tank in a mobile home, and it would be convenient to mount it on a platform above the water heater.

It will be in a seasonal home (summer use only), so it needs to be drained for the winter months.

I'm thinking I could mount a horizontal tank, using the pump mounting plate as an anchor to a wooden platform, and add a support for the other end. This way, I can easily drain it down for the off-season.

Any reason why this wouldn't work? Is the bladder installed in a way that precludes this?

Thanks!

This White Oak is perhaps 15-20 years old. It is a city-supplied curb lawn planting, and I've spent some time on it over the years. It was originally a 2-lead codominant, and I gradually got it to look like it does now.

I also found significant girdling roots a few years back, and removed them.

So, I'm a bit invested in this tree.

My question is whether you'd recommend removing the three smaller branches, as shown on the close-up photo.

SOLVED!

I am confused, honestly. My profile stats are:

My CQS is Low (apparently the bar is pretty high).

I don't know what else might be wrong, but I never see the option to DM someone. I can start a chat, but that's it. Is it because I have a low CQS?

Any ideas?
