Go Big Or Go Home - Massive Upgrade With Huge Show Tank
- Thread starter BIGSHOW
- Start date
We did put all the plumbing underground, except for the fish tanks as its hard to run a drain underground and then have it go back above ground and into a sump. I have added a floor drain by the furnace and one behind the 450 DT (well existing floor drain from the bathroom already there). Was going to do a back flow, but not really a need, never had the water back up and I was there during the floods in Hamilton back in 2010, could of been done to be safer and was brought up but didn't do it. As an environmental scientist I can tell you there is nothing in the water from the steel plants.
Yes the Oil tank is gone. That was really the first step of the process.
Funny how the year I decide to swap my oil tank the price of oil plummets 
I know Natural Gas is still way cheaper, but still kinda annoying.

Wow. Absolutely crazy man. I love it!!! Looking forward to watch the progress of this one. I can't believe you have found the room in your basement to fit all of this but it is going to be one amazing setup by the looks of it.
I must say, I am a little disappointed to see that you needed a sledge hammer to take down those walls... I thought you would have just run through them and rip them out by hand, like Hulk!

Any dry wallers on here? Need someone to hang/tape and mud.
Let me know.

My least favorite part.
Agreed, worth every penny to watch pros do it while I drink beer!!!

I'm off untill Sunday if you need help let me know man my phone crashed I lost your number if you could text me or send me via pm
Wow, what an insane build! If you weren't charging admission before, I'm guessing you will be once complete! Looks like a crazy amount of work, I'm sure it will be rewarding in the end, looking forward to seeing your progress and of course the final outcome

Yup it is. This is just the moving the bathroom/laundry machine part. Wait until the fish build starts, going to be crazy
. I am excited. I can't wait to have the SPS system running, I miss all my awesome sticks.
Found an electrician and a drywaller so more progress has been made.
Drywall starts tomorrow, bathroom hopefully done mid next week and we can start the fish room ...(I know thats what you all really want to see anyways)

Now you just need to move a little closer. Center of the attention, like the KW area
