Thanks! Believe it or not it's actually pretty simple now that I look back on it. There was a lot of trial and error but all of the trim I'd just glued and pin nailed on.

Well Mr. Rivera, if you mean B.C. as in Before Christmas you are correct...yes...new RO unit part will be in Wednesday and I can start making water then begin the cycle. Could you please stop by and bless the tank with your presence so we can ensure I reach your level of success
