93 Cube for under a grand. It can be done... I think. UPDATED GRAND TOTAL! :)

Things are starting to look better I think the candy canes are goners though.

Trim around windows done. Pain in the neck. The window frames were hand made and crooked. I kinda split the difference when choosing between level and straight. Once it's all painted white, you won't notice as much.

Should be a HUGE change in the next 3 weeks.

We could always just paint the floors and stencil fish with paint if you want. We=free labor.

OK now THAT is an awesome idea!

Text with Sherry about it. Remember, she is the design consultant (read as person who actually sees color correctly LOL!)

BTW, decided on steel for the 12 foot tank. I can get continuous runs of the square tube up to 20 feet long so no joints in the middle of the tank and it'll give more room under the tank for filtration and plumbing.

I really wish we could leave the exposed brick. But, the city said too much dust and would have to send some of it off for testing for nasties. I am not paying what they want for the test just to have it fail and still have to paint. So, Ryan is going to start sealing it up with Kilz this weekend.

 

[dantimdad]

I will be in Montgomery this weekend visiting Sherry's folks.

Yes, I am having palpatations from not working on the store. But, Ryan will be ther to accept the delivery from the building supply and work on more sealing.

I will back at it Sunday evening. Going to work on some more trim work and then more framing.

No one cares.

Probably safer for the livestock that way, too.

So when are you going to start up some grow out tanks for coral you intend to sell?

 

[dantimdad]

The plan is to have the frag tanks and qt racks wet 12/1.

I agree keeping th dust down is safer for all interested parties.

We ran into a snag yesterday and it will delay us two weeks. We were about 3 weeks ahead of schedule. DOH!

We are having to fur out two walls in the class room and drywall them. Just too much wrong to patch the plaster in there.

Anyway, I got the door in the classroom framed out for a window. Ryan and Parker got a bunch of priming done and a lot of clean up done as well.

Will be working on the class room tonight.

FYI I updated the FB page with a bunch of progress pics separated by month.

More to come...

So no matter what this guy has been through, you will never take the silly out of him:
