Dang Brooks! That's really a professional looking job!

Are you planning on sump and other supporting equipment being in the room with the hot water heater? Or is that stuff going to be under the tank?

brooks93 · 05-27-2008, 10:53 PM

yes I plan for everything to be in the room and under the tank will be storage. The wall is about 10 feet from the hot water heater and about 14 feet from the back of the tank so I have plenty of room for everything I can think of. I even built the wall so the opening can be expanded easily to 8 feet. LOL just in case I need to upgrade

dont you mean WHEN you upgrade

funkpolice · 05-28-2008, 12:07 AM

That looks really good. When I get a basement, I'm planning something very similar.

Having things out from under the tank sure do make things easier to work on. That was the best thing I did for myself and for my system. It's so easy to clean the skimmer, test the water, and all those necessary tasks.

JoJo · 05-28-2008, 07:33 AM

yea, i wish i would have put more time into planning & have the sump and fuge out.

brooks93 · 05-28-2008, 01:05 PM

BarbMazz · 05-28-2008, 01:28 PM

oh and the paper in the tank my wife did for visual effect.

vdituri · 05-29-2008, 01:06 AM

Thank your wife. It helps with the visual.

You have tons of stuff going on at your house.

Craig Manoukian · 05-29-2008, 01:36 AM

Awesom Mr. & Mrs. Brooksy!

tbittner · 05-29-2008, 07:05 AM

Man, tha'ts purtty! I hope you don't need to get to your hot water heater or furnace though. I don't see a DOOR into that area...

OH! WAIT! I get it now! You're getting all James Bond on us and you're going to crawl up into the ceiling, over the wall, and down into the other room! Very clever!

brooks93 · 05-29-2008, 11:40 AM

the Door behind the tank is actually to the left of the new wall in the last pic. we have a big storage room behind it.
