:silly:

Well, I did peel most of it off...still have some bits here and there.

I'll post some pics of my "progress" here in a bit....although I got one of the pieces a little cockeyed, it's 8" in on one end and a little over 8" at the other:drool:

Just a tip - if you wet your finger with water (or just spit on it like I do) then use your finger to smooth the silicone, it doesn't stick to your fingers nearly as much. ;)

Good progress - nice pics...

1) Nice feet! String on rocking chair - is PETA aware of this practice?

2) I'd replace the giraffe with a piece of driftwood & add a solid background to the tank behind you.

3) Nail polish and caulk guns - :hypnotized::lipssealedsmilie:!

rest - Looks nicely done, now you have time to go watch the kids' movies.

1). Yes...my girl have nice feet:), what don't everyone have string on their rocking chair??

2) LOL, the giraffe is BEHIND the tank not in it, and yeah...I just bought some paint too, will be painting the back of the tanks soon.

3). Is that bad????

And the movies...well, that was going to be my "support" for the piece of glass that goes in the middle....LMAO!!!

Anyway, no work will get done today...have to go and work both shifts today BLAH!!!
