O.T. A Fresh Water Castle for my Princess

sasquatch · 10-07-2007, 12:58 PM

A while back I built this frame for a tank for Teresa, its just been finished yesterday and planted and stocked, the water is still a bit clouded but that will soon pass, theres a few finishing touches left like the turrets and cabinet but that can wait till the wart tank is kissed by the frog lol. The last pic is the slate wall going in, I put 6 12'' x 12'' slate tiles thru my tile saw then broke them into blocks, a dab of silicon and it done, even with a thick bath towel over the edge my chest hurt for 3 days, this is a 50 gal tank.

Now all you need is a burping toad! I think Disney is looking for a director for it's Little Mermaid undersea adventure!

beautiful !!!

Anselth · 10-09-2007, 01:15 PM

Nice work! What's the frame made out of?

Dentoid · 10-09-2007, 02:04 PM

All joking aside, I'm impressed with your metal work and the rock background is very creative. For some reason all I can see is Barbie hanging out in her bikini!

Sorry couldn't help it! I really like it!

vdituri · 10-09-2007, 02:12 PM

I don't see any Beach Bikini Barbie? I even tried the 3-D picture trick where you unfocus your eyes. lol

Steve, that is some impressive work there. Couple of pots of coffee, a little pluming and you're good to go!
That should make up for any destruction to the house you did while Teresa was away.
