Ok, so in DEC. my cousin told me he was going to make me (a very much needed) stand for my 75g tank..I was talking about how bad I needed it and that I was going to make one in a few weeks (I'd have the money for all the wood and everything then), well he is a welder and he told me not to spend my money on that, he would make me one as he got scrap metal..he said it would take him about a month but it would be no problem. So of course I jumped on that (after asking over and over...are you sure you don't mind). So now it's April and he still hasn't finished it he said all he needs is to make the legs, he said the metal is there he just hasn't had time to finish it yet, I don't want to sound selfish but I really need this and now I don't have the money to spend, I HAVE to get my fishies separated and set up the way they need to be!! I don't know what to do, and I know you all can't really do anything about this but GRRRRRR I just needed to vent to someone about it and other people just don't seem to understand/care why it is soooo important to me! I just wish I would of went ahead and got the stuff to make it myself:sad:
 
Maybe offer to help in some way??? Go down and get everything tacked in place so he just has to run a bead of weld on it??? Or offer to do some errons that might be taking up time he could spen on it??

Just a side note, if useing a metal stand you will want to either powder coat or paint with por-15 to prevent rust!!

Thanks for the tip there!!

He is building it at work, so I wouldn't really be able to go there and do anything, believe me I am very greatful he is doing this for me, and I'd do anything I could to help if I could...I just wish it would get done soooooon.
 
maybe offer to toss him a couple of bones to intice him to finish it.
 
What's his e-mail address? I'll send him this thread..... just kidding...

Reading into your post, I'll bet you are trying not to pester him by asking him when it will be finshed, but maybe a gentle "non-pestering nudge" saying that you really need to separate your fish ASAP (maybe you can tell him that they're starting to fight or something)...

I know what it's like to wait. I still have my 90g in my dining room (EMPTY). I'm waiting form my husband to move a radiator in the living room so I can set it up. I hate to bother him, because he's so busy, but I'm dying to get it started...
 
gstoffer,

I know exactly how you feel . .


I work in a wood working shop, and as always I was promised a tank stand. It's a few months and I'm still waiting.


I hope you get it soon though .. Keep us posted.
 
This is off topic but GREAT avatar waterbaby...I think my husband must think I'm nuts now sitting in here alone and cracking up like I just did!!

Back on topic, I have asked him a couple times and he keeps telling me he just need to finish the legs (this has been about a month now for that), I'm about to tell him I'll just duct tape it together:huh: (kidding of coarse)!!

Well Cheech, good luck with yours:Angel:
