When I look at the builds you guys are doing on R2R, and see the end products, I’m often filled with a minor (OK...major) sense of envy. The idea that one can have absolute total control of the design and implementation of their system is something I can’t even wrap my mind around.
I often come at these things from the other direction. Even when I get some sort of carte blanche from a client, it’s still their budget and their vision. It’s my job to make it work. When I have a new build, generally speaking, I at least get some of the stuff the way I want it, and can sidestep a lot of pitfalls even w/in certain contstraints.
The real fun happens when I take over a tank designed and installed by another company. These are ‘professionally’ designed systems. Work on enough of them and you realize that ‘professional’ simply means they have a resale license.
ITT, I’ll show you some of the systems I have the pleasure of working on. To say I have a few hurdles to overcome is a massive understatement. Even as long as I have been doing this, I still find myself staring at a tank with my mouth hanging open...and not in a good way.
I’ll start with a doozy in my next post. Not sure why I’m starting this thread...I think I just need to vent. Should be good entertainment for you guys, though. Feel free to add yours or any that you’ve seen.
Buckle up your junk.
