OK so... this is going to be video heavy... While making this I realize that I can not add video directly to a blog... Sorry so you will have to click on the videos and view them. You may want to right click and open in new TAB incase they open in the same frame.
We started to work on the stand and beams. Then I realized that we had not turned on the camera at all. (oops) sorry.
Take the plywood out of the equation for a second as I type this. The tank sits directly on the 4x4's On the back it sits in the middle of each one, so basically there is 1.75 inches in the back non-load bearing. On the front side it is all the way up to the leading edge of the 4x4 for maximum closeness to the edge on the 'frame' an not have a deep sit back.
The reason this is we had already taken the sump and dry fitted it between the supports and knew the exact measurement where we had to be. We knew the max and the min.
The tank really sits on the plywood then sits on the 4x4.
So here are some videos. (They are all in High def so change the setting (gear) and see how it looks, less pix-elated.
Right after the main build we had to finish installing some cross bracing and front flashing for the finish to sit on, when I get that far.

Well there is a pipe in the back of the tank for the baseboard hotwater in this area. I knew I could not let that sit. At the store I bought the wrong parts (90's) and we decided to paint instead.

I got my flex hose in. It is braided and banded clear.
As you can see the pipe is now gone and I can finally hang some drywall.

Now I get to add some more drywall and I wanted to take a break from it, so I decided that now I could cut and put in the decking that the tank will sit on.
You will see me sitting there just staring (I was not texting hahaha) The walls from the original build are not exactly plumb so I was using that scrap of wood and making notes on the size and how the cuts were going to be.
Around :50 watch the dehumidifier. You will see the ghost move some stuff around. Yeah at the end we flipped it and the blue was facing out. Ooops I forgot I measured so that the back would have the waving line and the front would be level... (duhhhh)

Ok last bit of drywall to be put up to get rid of all the gaps for moisture to go.

Now we need to cutout the drain sections in the plywood and paint the background. Yeah it is black. That way the tank overall will pop better and no extra lighting or anything shining around.

I had to run and get some plumbing parts for the sump to tank connections so the stand is getting a coat of paint.

When we got back from the store we decided to just take the kid gloves off and move the tank.
Well needless to say the camera was not rolling during that part. It would have been neat to see but then we could have seen who was straining and who was in shape. OK I forgot to turn it on.

OK the next set will be filling and some rock placement.
