See my response on the other MARS forum for door idea.

Ok...so it's not perfect and it still needs stain.....but it's built! Honestly.....considering that was the first time I ever built anything in my life....I think it's pretty dang good.

 

[KMP]

you got skills...looks great!

Looks good Ginger! At least you didn't end up like this guy.

Nope....no nails through my finger!
I did, however, smash my index finger with the hammer. But we won't talk about that.

That looks really great Ginger! Its coming along. What color you gonna stain it?

 

[gem]

Thanks! Actually, I'm considering just polyurathane over the natural wood. But I haven't really made a final decision on that yet. That'll be a couple weeks. = )

Worked on it all day Saturday and sunday two weekends in a row.

Wow Ginger, that looks VERY nice! I'm sure you'll be happy that you have a canopy. Now you can keep some Wrasses in there without worrying about them carpet surfing . . . kinda!

Never underestimate a woman on a mission! LOL.

They look great Ginger . I'm partial to natural cherry stain . That wood looks great natural though too. Are you going to use Spar Varnish? I'd suggest the oil based one for a really nice finish.

keep it natural Ginger. Looks sweet I need to see George and finish planning out mine. How soon till water?

Rafael - That's too funny. Be easy on the guy. He's just a young pup with all kinds of energy.

Tom - You must have a lot of patience having to work with such a grouchy person.

I'm not kidding, he just talks and talks and talks
