LOL - If it wasn't for you, I'd probably be pulling my hair out! Thanks for the help! It has definitely made it a LOT easier having you around to help put out any fires before they start - and of course with you doing the framing. I was a good helper though!
Now all I need is a contractor to help with the preggo wife ;)

I just pulled down the stair trim like you said. Drywall finishers are here now.

Baby Sierra's due date is Tuesday - Monday, We (Brian (corsi1330) and I) are supposed to be starting on the trim (doors, base and crown mouldings, ect.)
So we'll see how it goes -

The wife sprung for a new skimmer for all the hard work

Picked up from Tom @ Socal - GREAT packing job, and fast shipping. I'll be going through him again for sure.

Its been skimming old vinegar that I cleaned my vortecs with for the last week. I'm pulling the sump out tomorrow to put it in. I tried putting it in last week, but it is too big without pulling sump out from under the stand!

Thanks Ben

The colors are off too. They're pretty bright, and I still don't know how to get good pictures.
The one above it to the right is the most unique color I have seen yet. Super bright orange/red like my True Orenji Chalice.
That one is my favorite.

Most of them are rainbows - I am blasting them with light though to get them to grow, so once they go back into lower light they should color back up.
I hope ;) lol
