Time for some updates
So yesterday (30th March, 2013), I made the stand a little more sturdy and posh and the outcome was this:
Will be putting doors infront once everything is together
Also got most of the plumbing parts from concept:
Was hold back yesterday since concept didn't have few of the parts needed so no more progress yesterday.
Today was a very very hectic day for me. From time to time, I do realize how essential owning a car is and today was no different. Took me 4+ hours to go here and there to grab the plumbing parts while, with a car, I could have done it within an hour. On the bright side, I got some exercise
Anyway, I have finally completed the plumbing today
Since this was my first plumbing of any sort; I was more of tiring than challenging. Dry fitting and measuring was the hardest part since I lacked the muscle to take those off so had to hammer them to loosen up (without breaking). But overall, it was fun
So here's the plumbing:
Not anything fancy but I really liked my own work
And it livesssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Filled this baby up with fresh water to test for licking and everything was perfect
Forgot to cement one union which was licking but it was a quick fix. But it was really really happy that everything turned out alright since I was testing everything on a carpet!!!!
Kept the nozzles of the return higher than water level so that no back suction occurs. Had a check valve but forgot to place it
The flow is very smooth even at the highest speed and so there's no water splashing noise.
Tuning the overflow seems to be a bit challenging but I guess I will get used to it
Lastly, I simply can't thank Denny enough to teach me how to plumb and giving me the exact amount of things required. Its because of his help that I accomplished (yes a accomplishment for me
) the plumbing in one go!
