The saga continues


Well lots done since my fiasco with the saw blades. I stopped by home depot, picked up another board on thursday for the top, also 2 20 gallon brute trash cans and some buckets. Figured out how to get the saw blade in (the shank part was to far down, turned on saw, moved it up, worked fine, go figure) also figured out work bench (a bit late, but oh well). Sawed the top piece, mounted it and filled in nail holes (wood putty stuff sucks) than I went to Allquatics and picked up some salt and sand. Friday I decided to wake up at 5am to work on the stand somemore. I got it fully primed. After work I hit home depot to pick up an adapter for my basement sink to put a 1/4" tube on for the Ro/DI unit that I was lacking, also picked up tubing. Than after dinner I painted the stand black, cleaned the buckets, trash cans, tank of gunk, setup the Ro/Di unit & started making water (neat) and tested the tank for leaks (it didn't) I than pumped the water back out w/ the Maxi jet and it worked well. I also called Marine Depot & reported the 2 broken bulbs and they're sending out replacements. Saturday morning (now) I'm continuing to make water (it's slowwwww), put the stand in place w/ the tank on top and started plugging in power strips .... naturally when I went to plug one in I couldn't, I look at the wall outlet and at some point a ground broke off in the outlet and is blocking it (I don't use that outlet) Soooo I'll have to eventually replace the outlet, great. Posting some pictures & the next set you see should have
water, sand and rock in it with any luck!!!
