Wanted to share my ridiculous Idea of merging two off the shelf sumps together to create one giant one. At first I was lazy and just glued the two walls together and cut a big opening but I just thought it wasn't open enough. So I sliced the two and carefully glued them together. It's actually harder than it sounds. Because I'd the cuts were not perfectly jointed than the seams wouldn't line up at all

Overall it came out extremely well and saved a ton of money since the other option was a massive custom sump on ldl freight truck.

Dang that's a wild idea! Looks awesome and I really like the white. I bet gluing the two together was a huge PITA! Looking forward to seeing what it looks like when it's done.
