Couple of pics

Access for chiller lines and a few wires



Couldn't decide, so one of each



Stand primered



Stand, first coat of black. Turns out skill is required to paint. I have no such skill.

Ok, beast is in the house. Dented part of the stand moving the tank. I think it's about 800 pounds!!
Temporary location, I have to move it when the old tank leaves.
