Luckily, I have a buddy that is a master plumber. There is no place for water hookup right now except the bathrooms. He is going to the store tonight and running water lines into the holding area for the utility sink and RO units. Gotta love that guy!

My "Adoptive Dad" is an instructing electrician at the local trade school. He is coming this weekend to add a circuit for the left had side of the holding area and to figure out why in the heck the smaller bathroom light is plugged in to an outlet in the holding area instead of hard wired, which is a code violation.

These old buildings are so weird.

Placed our first dry good and livestock orders yesterday!

(Plants were first because they were on special)

We will have a smoking prices on salt for grand opening!

Ocean Nutrition food will also be on special as well as giveaways from them.

We should have one of if not the best selections of live plants in Alabama.

Had a great visit with @Joe Glass Cages today. Brought me some nice tanks and caught up on what's going on in the store.

He also saved the day by bringing me a 1" schedule 80 bulkhead fitting for the 12 foot tank return!

Had a great visit with @GWHouston and his wife as well. He also brought me a tank and a couple sumps. Talk about really helping out!

Finished the magnet mounts for the 12 foot tank stand doors. Got the moveable merchandise shelf build and sanded and ready for primer and paint.

Sherry got both floating walls painted so tomorrow the floating tanks go into place! WOOHOO!

Daniel got the brick primed as well.

The pendant (minus LEDs) and doors are on the 12 footer!

One of them needs a little more bend in it.

And the most exciting thing today:

Yes, my friends, the floating tanks are in the walls! Sherry painted two coats today.

And finally, a little treat for the car door:

Tomorrow the 12 foot tank gets cleaned, sand goes in and water!

With a little luck, the discus tank gets clean and sand and some beautiful driftwood goes in.

Sorry to learn about this popping sound. Hopefully, it was just some trapped air in one of your joints/vertebrae. Sending good vibes and a hug!
