excellent bry, cause i think jamie backed out. the more the merrier.

 

[spideybry]

Why did he back out? I will text him see what is goin on.

 

[mr_X]

he said he didn't have money for gas, but then i offered to pay for it, and i haven't heard anything back.

 

[carey]

grrr....why can't I be a manly man and live close by, I would have loved to help. And see the setup too

Ah, well you need to pay with beer btw lol. juss sayin, beer and pizza at least.

I am sure just being close by would have been enough lol, he did say the more the merrier. So technically we need someone to be "merry", idk if a bunch of guys in a room is merry haha.

 

[carey]

LOL a bunch of guys in a room is something else usually...LOL

I'm not much of a merry maker but I would have loved to be in on the ground floor of something so educational and fun.

Good luck guys, can't wait to see the finished product.

I would even bring the beer. Oh wait a minute, that might cost more then the tank.

 

[mr_X]

i wonder if i paypalled him some, he could use it right away?

 

[rdnelson99]

Hey X and Bry....if you got a minute, check out my thread in hardware about Wave Point lamps. Would to hear what you have to say about them.

 

[spideybry]

He said yea tht would work.

 

[Ausfish]

If you weren't halfway around the planet I'd come as well

ok, so we made some pretty good progress today. a huge thanks to spideybry, jamie, and june for coming over today and busting your butts to get this tank in!
first we opened up the wall and cleaned it up pretty good to see what we were working with-

then we built false walls on either side of the existing wall-

and then we ate lunch...

then jamie decided to give us a little tank presentation...

then we fitted the stand and studded out the wall for sheet rock.
we put in a 100" header in case i wanted to replace this 7' tank with an 8 footer down the road

then we carried in, and set the tank. that thing sure seemed lighter when i got it.

kudos to the crew.....

 

[spideybry]
