![]() Thanks...we've been sitting on the lot since before there were any houses there in order to save some dough and pay as much as I could of the lot off. It should be good day when I can sit in my living room and look outside to that view and inside to the 7' tank view!
![]() The framing does go very fast and I agree that it's be best part since you really see progress. Today they should be putting in the floor joists and pouring concrete at our front door/walkway and rear deck. I have steel beams coming in to support where the tank will be going as well as the front deck. Not sure when those arrive though.

![]() Looking good buddy! Hopefully the weather will hold off until the concrete and roof are in place.
I think my neck is going to be sore the first couple of visits swinging it back and forth between the view of the tank to the view of the lake!

![]() Looking good Mark, nice to see you got past the bs known as the city of vernon!
Is the front of your house facing east or west? Not knowing your whole plan, but if you're facing west could the heat from setting sun be a problem for the tank? Just throwing that out there! ![]()

![]() Thanks for the comments everyone. So glad that we are finally on the way.
As for the house position to the sun. The sun should be setting where most of the light is going to be hitting the back yard rather than the front windows. Even then, the tank is about 17' back from the windows so I doubt that heat will be an issue. Actually, I think that I might have to spend more time heating this tank as the fish room is in the basement and should be quite cool so sump/refuge water will get a good chance to cool down.
