150 Gallon Build Thread ... From the Start

Wow!, how long did it take you to stain that sucker? It really looks great.

Thanks David - I put a coat on yesterday and the second coat today - about an hour each day. It actually went on pretty easy. (I have 2 coats of sanding sealer and 3 or 4 coats of poly still to do.) Painting the inside with that black latex enamel without getting any on the outside - now that was another story (very time-consuming)!!

Looks fantastic so far. Did you tape off the edges before brushing the latex on, or just go super slow along the edges to avoid overshooting? More work than I would have the patience to do from the look of it... You putting adjustable leveling legs on the bottom?
 
Progress ~~

The stand (less the 3 doors) is finished - I want to put a light inside before bringing it in the house (the Mrs. is "very" eager to get it out of the garage - I think the truth be told, she is really excited about getting it in the house).
