Christy's 180 build

[hillegom]

one step at a time. The plan is looking good. How big of a header will you be installing?

Yes I do, it was September 2009

Frankly I think I'll be lucky if I have it up on a stand by December but you never know. We're redoing our kitchen (ordered from Ikea) and as soon as that gets here I think it likely takes priority.

As soon as I can get that hole in the wall I'm good to go, I can build the stand myself and have some people over for a tank lifting party. Its basically just been that damn hole in the wall that has been holding everything up so far.

lets go young lady you have some nerve just posting that now. but you may beat some one else who has a bigger one

Very cool!

For me the best part of a in-wall is the fish room behind, very jealous.

I like your idea for the removable background.

Looking forward to following this one

Nice start Christy. Looks to be a real nice set up................................... (Wish I had a fish room )

Great start, are you comming for the tour tomorrow? you should bring your husband, we can chat about the renos, I'm no expert but I have done 2 inwall installs now and almost have all the little things figured out that will make life easy. Looking forward to the progress.

Yep I'll be there tomorrow My husband isn't coming, I think he plans on spending some quality time with the couch but I'd love to hear any tips/tricks you have to give on in-wall builds.
