So I ended up having to hire a local carpenter to finish his tank! It’s going to look so nice. Carpentry is a very specific skill and I was looking for something super nice with a high gloss finish and a timeline that wasn’t working for anyone in my family.:) I should have it back within a week.:)

The most common answer I got was I can’t/don’t do that, I’m too busy right now, or yes I can do it but it will be around $3-4k! So I feel very lucky to have found the person I did and the price he is charging me can’t be beat. As for the other over a dozen people I called most of them told me my project was too small as well.

Someone else is finishing it up. A finishing carpenter his job description is in his job lol! The person who built the other part just did the frame.

I am a "bacon maker" some days... but then other days I am a "bacon finisher" - both job descriptions, and both very important. Kind of like rough carpenter and finish carpenter. ThoughI think finishing bacon (the act of putting it in my belly) is much more rewarding. It's a good thing Hewbie is not bacon... I bet he would like bacon. He looks like he would like bacon. I would share my bacon with Hewbie if we ate breakfast together. We would be best of friends. Bacon brings us all closer.

Hewbie will gladly eat and like any type of food I put in the tank. Sometimes I want to share my food with him but I know it wouldn’t be good for him and I don’t want to kill him.

I've heard they help with swim bladder issues but also read that helps for fish diet that don't typically eat algae.
And I’ve heard constipation too but I’ve never wanted to or had a reason to feed him peas lol.

things found on the beach? The rusted ladder adds a nice hue and really adds great vertical. And if you tilt it on its side can help get you to the top of the Euroframe!
I think we used snow chains, not a ladder? But yes the can be helpful in a pinch to chains a light bulb.
