Here we go again ...

I meant no disrespect to his work. This is an excellent build. I thin RC is a place where we can all share our ideas. Sometimes we miss things that another might catch. I like how people always give options so the individual can make the best decision.

I thought I read some where on this build that he likes all types of input. It was not negative in any way. I 2nd thought before I posted expecting someone might say something but I thought it was worth it because this build is incredible and has so much attention to detail, planning, and excellent craftsmanship.

LOL! Thanks for the read Eric.

Okay everyone, I'm going to try to take some time this weekend and do a series of pipes based on everyone's recommendations, take lots of pics and see what you think... Who knows, maybe I'll see something I didn't expect to see.

Until then, thanks for staying tuned.

I got it! You can build a replica of the stair case leading up the pole and hide the pipe in it!

HAHAHAHA! Sorry, I just "had" to bring that up.

Can't wait to see the test pictures.

I love how you framed out the bottom in the same white trim as the wall below - adds a nice touch!

Well I have a new plan for both the canopy and return pipe, I'll let everyone in on the idea once I build it/confirm it's going to work.

I just ordered the last of the loclines I need, the float valve for the ATO, and will have my power management tomorrow night. That should be everything to get water in it, I'll take more pics as things start coming together. All that's left I think it the canopy, sand, and my water changing station.

Thanks Alan, I'll take that advice on the pipe to heart. LOL!

Wrap a red ribbon around it and make it look like a candy cane for this holiday.

Stick hearts to it for Valentines day.

Attach four leaf clovers for Saint Patrick's Day.

Attach small flags for Fourth of July.

Just a few variations for you to consider, yet again.
