426 Gal L Shape custom

Sweet build I remember you talking about this a while back. Nice to see someone local with a nice build but what can I say you're doing it all yourself. haha...Still waiting to get back in the country so I can start the tank you built me. Good luck with everything and hopefully you'll get in there soon.

Today could have gone smoother. Passed 3 of 4 inspections today, first 3 were there at 9am and passed no issues at all. That 4th, the electrical, oh hes a little turd, same guy that failed us first time for wrong ladder, finally strolled in around 3:30.

He proceeds to fail us and posts the letter to the elec box and leaves. Sounds innocent enough except the builder and my wife were there, he talks to neither of them about what is wrong, doesnt even tell them hes done with the inspection, just sneaks out and leaves. Wasnt till about and hour after he was gone that they noticed he wasnt there any more... Nonetheless our electrician had a late night fixing a romex, whatever that is so we could be ready for tomorrow.

What a loser. Romex is the wire covers they use to run electrical in homes. It is the flexible metal conduit.

so ive heard haha. Today is a new day, lets see what happens
 
we are pretty much all moved in. Spent all night tue and all day wed unpacking, moving, etc. Running on 0 sleep

Already put a 155 gal custom set up i built into my house haha. A friend of mine goes to Japan for 2 years so i get to baby sit. His bubble king SM 200 worked its magic and pulled about 2 gallons of sludge out and tank is crystal clear again. One yellow tang is RIP now though and was the only loss, water got to hot to fast for him we think.

I took pics, but no internet at house yet to upload them with.
 
Congratulations on getting moved in! Again. :) I hope settling in goes smoothly for you now that you're past the inspector.
 
cable company came out today, hooked up our internet, hd cable and phone, which is very cool. Anthony calfo will be visiting me this weekend so i was trying to have things ready for that. Really got cut down to the wire haha.

After 3 days of cold showers our gas was cut on finally. Couldnt take much more of that.
 
a few pic from the house, we are really close to being finally settled, just a few small things left to do other than the big tank
155 gallon ill be watching for the next 2 years for a friend. This is also going to be the fish equipment room on the right wall. I like that the tank will get lots of natural sunlight.

My 30lb Savannah is still skidish from the move, hes starting to come downstairs more

man ive really dropped the ball on updates here havent i. Ill try and sum up the last month. The savannah is great, one of the most unique personalities ive seen in a cat. hes also the most docile and well behaved of the group oddly enough being the most wild.

Its official, i hate yards, i did however get to cut the grass in the back yard, didnt take long as it was only a 12"x12" area

All of our trees were finally delivered, and are now planted. For about a week we had no tv/phone/internet at the house because they buried the cable 2" below the surface so when landscapers dug in, they cut it. It wasnt the landscapers fault, the cable is supposed to be 18" down.

pic of backyard all strawed and seeded up, i get to run around with multiple sprinklers each night trying to water it enough. Luckily front yard will be sod and sprinkler system in it.

Ive also set up 2-100 gallon rubbermaid tubs for preparation for the move.

Ive got a 125 gallon at the shop still that i will begin breaking down and moving into these bins. one bin is almost full already and havent touched the 125 yet.

Awesome, nice M3 as well

it was either turbo kit for her or big fish tank....i lost alot of sleep over the decision
 
wow you cat is incredible...exactly what i have been looking for...after a little more reading it looks as though i will have to cough up a little cash for a nice little F1 male...LOL i have always wanted a big cat, i guess this is the closest i can get..
