Nice. I think the ghost overflow looks a lot cleaner than the internal overflow box.

Lance A. Lot · 03/26/2016, 03:36 PM

Less complicated drywall parts done!

Lance A. Lot · 03/26/2016, 03:39 PM

Having dinner with the master carpenter tonight to finalize the cabinet plans.

Looking really good! Can't wait to see it up and going.

Glass for building a sump came in last night. Looks like I have a busy weekend ahead of me.

Had to get one of the glass panels redone because they were all tempered. I needed to drill at least one hole so tempered glass want going to work.

The corner clamps are the best impulse buy I have ever made

Update on where I am

Looking good! Thing are starting to come together quite well for you. And after seeing those clamps now I am going to have to get some to add to my tool collection. Did you buy those offline or locally?

Lance A. Lot · 04/26/2016, 01:30 PM

Harbor Freight Tools. I always check there for inexpensive things like clamps and things I will only use once. I used to work there in high school so I sometimes get to use the coupons and employee discount. That depends on who is working though.

Last week was a little crazy. Somehow got my first creature in the tank without any water...

I think he fell through a hole I cut in the drywall above the tank. The hole was to reach a secure place to attach the framing to. I think he got into the house through an opening that the sump pump hose uses or from under my front porch.

More pics of Stuart

I grabbed him by the tail and pulled him out. Put him in a 5 gallon bucket and took him to a park.

I made progress on the return plumbing. I think I like it enough to start gluing. And yes I will be removing the bar codes and marks from the pvc.

Had a taper come by and do some work around the basement.

Finally picked a paint color for the basement. The bottom half will be a white wainscot to match the cabinets.

Lance A. Lot · 07/19/2016, 12:45 PM

Plumbed in the future frag tank.

Turned this guy on to test for leaks.... found quite a few... I need to glue better... I will use more glue and push all fittings in faster in the future.

This guy has been slowing the pace down over the last 3 weeks. 11 weeks old German Australia mix.
