I wish it was here already...I hate waiting!

We got our quotes back on the tank and now we're just working with them and deciding which direction to go with.

I want my new tank to be here and to be up and running!

So we just sent off the money to pay out a huge portion of our car, so now we can finally get back to the business of building this tank. It sucked for awhile there, but having considerably smaller car payments now makes it worth it.

In celebration we went shopping at the hardware store:

New Siemans 100Amp 32/64 panel. It already has more breakers then our current one, and we'll have tons of extra space for any future requirements. We have to pull a permit and call the utility company to temporarily cut off service for the change over. Calgary's homeowners permits don't cover panel replacement, and Kevin doesn't have his Masters, so he needs someone to pull him a permit.


Look at how cute and tiny that work lamp is! Its the perfect size for what we need!


We've decided we'll move the wall that separates the laundry room and fish room to give us more space. We stacked our washer and dryer to give us the extra 3ft of space we're hoping for. Before:


After:


We'll be moving those taps behind the washer and dryer. The new wall will probably be about 6" to the left of the appliances give or take.

Wow looking really good.... You should make sure that your main shut off valve for the water is accessable and for the EP you will need to have a full 36" clear in front of the panel to get it passed.... Good luck with it... looking forward to more pics.

Its all good! The new panel will not be going in the place of the old one, but rather on the same wall as the washer and dryer.
