The LAST big upgrade

I found another use for the door. I adore the features in our house and can't bear not to take advantage of them.

Anyways the last weekend of January we took some of the boxes we had around the house to create a mockup of the tank to plan out returns, rock structure, and get a visual idea of the final product. Kevin keeps telling me that we purchased a new hot water tank and a new television just for this project.

Why don't you cut out layers of cardboard and create the actual towers of LR? Cmon, I know you want to....Maybe you can sculpt them out of syrofoam...

So true...I guess I'll have to go out and buy myself another piece of electronic magic, just for the styrofoam though.

I'm waiting on my tax refund now to either a) order the glass, or b) order my rock.

Shouldn't your tank (glass) come before your rock or are you buying dry rock for base?

So the cardboard is from the new water heater box.
