Lol!

I was originally referring to RC, but yeah, that works too.

We solved our stand issue! Well Kevin did because apparently I can't think outside the box lately. We're now just figuring out the final configuration and we'll be set! I'm so excited to get this big part of the puzzle done.

I picked up some new rock tonight, it went in the 180g for holding. I got two beautiful pieces of Vanatu rock, so pretty!

I've been on a rock-looking kick lately, seeing what everyone's new rock looks like... I demand pics! Unless you're busy with, oh I dunno, life. Or something.

Lol! In the center, where the Xenia was, is where the two new rocks are. I should have taken close up shots.

We've been making some serious progress on the rock front. I have purchases/pick-ups tentatively scheduled all the way to early August!

We need to make another run to the dump to get rid of our reno debris, so that will be happening soon.

We're now just waiting on the stand, that is our next step in getting this going.

Does anyone know anything about those 1.5ft x 1.5ft rubber-bottom subfloor tiles you can buy? I've been seeing them everywhere in our attempts to decide on subflooring, but I can't seem to find anyone who a) knows they have them, or b) has a comment beyond, "well its a floor".

Are you refering to the Dricore subfloor system? or is this something else?

Yes, I believe that is the name of them. I think we're going to be putting either cork or engineered hardwood in the basement, I'm still researching.
