Ryan's rock flower nano
 
Hi guys did some big upgrades on my nano today and took the time to take pics along the way. so last month I painted my fireplace and added a floating shelf for my amp and telus box. http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...psg7gxz4f4.jpg

Ok so this is what I started with you can see in this pic the nano on ugly bulky stand to the left today I dicided to build another floating shelf plus run drain and return thru wall into crawlspace and into sump in garage 40' away.

I started by cutting into wall down the grove it's some sort of wood panel painted. Then removed and drilled 2 holes thru 2x4 in wall into crawlspace.

Next I built a box and drilled a couple more holes for plumbing also running power so I have a plug for light.

You can see where I cut the access panel in this Pic tomorrow I will sand edges and re paint then put a few small brad nails to close.

Yah that's freaking awesome. I've always wanted to do a sweet nano that was ninja style plumbed in to a larger, more stable system.

Have you been raiding my day dreams?
