230 Tank Build

Just updating my video (pic) log of the project. I think I am going to place additional support just next to the large overflow opening. Thoughts?

Just updating my video (pic) log of the project. Progress is slow this week. Darn day job. :cry:

Tonight I attached blueboard to the enitre frame. I plan to paint and add baseboard to match perpendicular wall from which this penisula will extend.

Don't worry, I have not forgotten about the doors. :wall:

Hope to move to location between living room and kitchen this weekend. :grinno:

Of course - help on this board is a two way street. Beleive it or not, I am not a handy man of any kind. My imeptus for doing as much of this stuff myself as possible is $$$ and the the joy of the process itself. I guess it is one of those, "its not the destination, it is the journey" type events. :liar:

OK - it is really the $$$ :grinyes:
 
Nice going so far, and yes holy overbuilt stand batman....but hey as long as it gives you peace of mind. :D Looking forward to this build.

Hey - if you want to pay my travel arrangements and house me, my wife, and three young children for a spell, by all means. :devil:

However, since it appears you reside in the great state of North Dakota, it would have to be during the summer months. I can barely withstand the New England winters and I am a native. :omg:
