Varga · 05-09-2008, 12:49 AM

AWSOME!!!!

Wow, your OSHA inspector is a lot more attractive than mine.....here is mine...hehe

vdituri · 05-09-2008, 01:40 AM

I'm wondering if either of those inspectors is licensed?
Did anyone ask for I.D.? lol

CMG · 05-09-2008, 01:42 AM

I asked mine for her ID but she made a hissing noise and ran towards me so I got out of there quick! Crazy one she is..hehe

Varga · 05-09-2008, 02:20 AM

crazy, yes......

Varga · 05-09-2008, 02:33 AM

I should have listened to Frankie and quit drinking beer while working in the garage...
just had this crazy idea of renting a welding machine and build my tank a nice metal frame/brace!! I think only then I would rest easy with 2500 pounds of water in the next room

Craig Manoukian · 05-09-2008, 02:59 AM

Woooooooohoooooooooo Varga!

JoJo · 05-09-2008, 10:46 AM

nice job Varga

cracker · 05-09-2008, 07:16 PM

Varga, how did you brace across the top? My plywood top braces are starting to show a little water damage. Also what type/brand of paint did you use?
I used SweetWater two part epoxy. It's sold as Aquaculture safe. It cured rock hard. The fumes were bad news though. Any probs along these lines? Thank
