We just bought a house on Ward's Island (Toronto Island). My wife was on the waiting list for 20 years and finally her number came up.
The house is a 1937 - 800 sqf cottage. How big of a tank can we squeeze in there?
There was one suitable wall for a long tank but it had a built in cabinet, we are doing a reno on the place so the cabinet is coming out anyway.
My buddy Anthony made short work of the Cabinet.
My friend Ben cheerfully scrapes up 3 generations of flooring to get down to the original Douglas fur subfloor.
And here will be the final resting place of the new tank.
The tank will be made custom by Miracles, 80x20x20 rimless starfire... aprox 135 Gallons.
(We have already removed the light sconces and baseboard heater)
One of the drawbacks and at the same time one of the most awesome thing about being on the island is that there are no cars allowed. You can get a permit to bring a moving truck or construction material over but for this I had Miracles drop off the tank at the ferry dock and it was up to me and a buddy to transport it over.
