Stand looks to be equal parts large and awesome. This is where all the waiting seems worth it!

Thanks...despite all the time its taken, now I feel panicked about how quickly its coming together. Tomorrow will be another big day of work getting done.

If anyone has trouble figuring out how it will all come together, join the club. The original ideas were mine...but my contractor has run with it to develop the finished look. Luckily, I've never seen him do a less than stellar job...so I have faith

Well thought this thread needed a brief update.

We've been mostly working on retaining walls in the back yard so if things look like they are moving slow...welcome to my world

The cabinet maker has been working on my kitchen back at his shop and tinkering a little with finishing the tank stand.

Here are the small (but I'll take what I can get) updates: Note that these are crappy phone pictures.

So exciting! I bet you will be glad to just get moved and settled in at this point.

Hope all is well with you guys and I would love to see some new pictures of the kids if you get a chance.

Thanks Kien,

I find it a real compliment when someone with your talent takes a look at my build.

It's coming along. I am hoping to water test the tank on the ground this weekend and assuming that nothing goes wrong, carry it into the house near the beginning of next week.
