Trim work looks great can't wait to see it finished. Looking forward to helping you get the tank on the stand. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Bobby! Im coming over to check that skimmer out!! Im thinking the tank might take four people to get it in safely.
 
Added the last piece of trim work earlier today to top it off. Ready to prime!

I went with a Classic Key Lime color.......Not because I love going to Kermit's Key West Key Lime Pie and scarfing up delicious key lime pie but because I can't simply come up with any other color.....LOL I must have spent an hour looking at colors and kept coming back to this one........so I went with it. Looks tasty!

Coat of primer dried and a nice smooth coat of Key Lime on. Pics are a little dark because of the low light I had in the work shop.

Doors will take a couple weeks. Looking forward to finishing it up and adding the knobs.
 
Looking good, Andy!

Are you making doors or are you ordering them from somewhere?? It's one of the last things I have to do as well!

Thanks Christian! The cabinet doors will be made by the same guy who remodeled our kitchen.
 
Thanks!! I kinda had to Chris my Wife told me my last one was a piece of junk and that this one needs to look nice....LOL. I didn't argue with her:)
