Hey guys! little update not much going on this week because Iv been busy with work... but the final coats of stain and poly went on the other day, and I put some holes in the wall to run electric, and water feeds. Might get to sanding and prepping the doors tonight.

Thank you! A lot of hours put into it! Honestly it's been the favorite part of the build so far. And usually the equipment is the best lol.

Made some good progress today! Cut out and glued a Yoga mat as a vibration dampener on the floor of the stand, Test fitted the tank on the stand to cut the top trim pieces, also got the doors cut down to size and braced so they will not bow... and finally started staining the doors and the final trim pieces for the stand!
