Did you order a case of newcastle to go with that case of glue?

And if you scroll back a couple pages.......

I told you not to use the superglue! lol Hope it turns out the way you want.

Unfortunately I had already used it. When my vendor was out of Weldon and suggested this stuff, I assumed it was similar. I used it not knowing it was just stupid superglue! I stopped and asked about it...so it was too late . It's going to be fine though, I'll bet the fish won't care if the acrylic is cloudy in the collection cup!

thats cool you'll be able to do the header yourself...wait maybe i should come after the works done. cant wait to see that Beckett in action, keep up the good work

That might be a good idea! Gail isn't bashful about putting visitors to work in trade for good food.

True, the fish won't even notice that.
Glue is glue as long as it holds.

I just caught up. You two have been busy little bees! My godmother lives in Wrens, GA...too bad that's too far of a drive

Just checking-in! You are moving right along, I'm happy to see that! The guest room looks very inviting.

I've been chatting with Frankie in the beckett build thread about the size of the skimmer. I think I'm building mine too large! It was going to be almost twice as big as his. I never did find numbers to use, I was just guessing at sizes. Depending on his answer to my last questions, I may change the size of it. It was going to be 74 inches tall total, wouldn't that be impressive!? (I am 71 inches tall). I think Frankie said his is a little over 50" tall. I may cut 10" off of the tubes now that I have actually seen the numbers in black and white! I don't need to get carried away here...

My lumber is being delivered tomorrow morning and my glue should be here also. Obviously Jody let me down delivering on Friday. I have a construction friend coming over to help me put in the header over the tank in the afternoon. Then I can stud the wall out and cut the opening into the living room. Wish us luck that none of the sheetrock buckles and cracks when the old studs come out. I hate repairing sheetrock!

Pictures will come later...

Help! I've lost my mind and I can't stop upgrading!

[Dentoid]

I wish I were closer!

[tbittner]

Good luck, Greg! And I agree, there isn't ANYTHING worse than repairing drywall. I despise that job.

I loce it!

I have faith it is going to go well! I will take the proper precautions..and then some. It's not like I'm taking the entire wall out, just seven feet. I'll have the ceiling braced well on both sides so it should be fine. But just in case, Scotts on speed dial!

[JoJo]

that still going to be a monster skimmer, cant wait to see it.

the wall construction will go quick and smoothly, i know it...you're blessed.

I've been thinking, I don't know that I would want a skimmer cup that sits taller than I am. Imagine reaching up to take it off to clean it and slipping and it.....
