Maxx,

You sure you didn't consume too many mistakes before coming up with that one?

True gutter humor, eh?

You guys kill me sometimes

Sure beats the cinder blocks and pine board I used in school...

Very nice work, Nikki. Your husband is a wizard. Looking forward to more pictures...!

Here is an updated picture of the side cabinet. I'm unsure of the dimensions other than it is 6' 6" tall. It looks a lot different now, as it has some maple attached to it and shelving. Hopefully soon, I'll have a digital camera that I'll be able to post pictures along the way, rather than a few weeks later. The side cabinet will house the refugium, and down the road, a Ca Reactor...among other goodies.

its coming along nikki, looks good so far, i bet you cant wait to have it set up!!

Craig Manoukian · 12-18-2003, 12:02 PM

Thanks for the update Nikki! Lookin' good!

Thanks for the update

Pro_builder · 12-18-2003, 01:23 PM

Looking good, sounds like you have this cabinet figured out.

NaH2O · 01-16-2004, 11:28 AM

Here's an update:

The stand, side cabinet, and canopy are all going to receive their final coat of poly...hopefully tonight. We used Maple to match the cabinets in the rest of the house. We special ordered the doors, and they should be here soon. The canopy will have crown attached once it is inside, and door fronts on the face. Right now they are on wheels to move them around the garage, so you can't tell how nicely they look put together.

Hope you enjoy the photo:

mwrager · 01-16-2004, 11:30 AM

So when are we going to see it set up??

NaH2O · 01-16-2004, 11:33 AM

LOL....not soon enough, IMO. This project has taken a very long time, but I think it will be well worth the patience. In the next few days we'll make the transition into the house and start on the plumbing. Thankfully, I have pretty much gathered all necessary equipment (minus lights as of now) to get it rolling.

Craig Manoukian · 01-16-2004, 11:43 AM

Lookin' good Nikki!

Maxx · 01-16-2004, 11:47 AM

Looking great!!! Cant wait to see it all together.....
I noticed you had ordered the doors? Wish I'd have thought of that. Since I'm building my stand, I made the door also.....I had to be creative (read fix/adjust plans cause the origianl plan didnt work...) and while I don't think it will look bad....it won't look like I had planned originally. Keep us updated Nikki!
