God I wish I could be there when you knock your head and spill a whole bucket of water down your neck!

Wow Tunze site says max head is 3.6m!

I'd never have guessed that...hence the ghetto mount.

Lance even if I did that I'd have nothing on your gooBlast story

Please note that like Kien I have gone with an espresso stain for the platform to match the other decor (in pieces) at the bottom of the stairs.

Hey Brett.... Glad to see you've made use of that pail I forgot down there! Haha.

Do you manually add water to the pail or does it ATO itself or you have a line to feed it to fill?





Cheers man!

lmao. i KNEW that pail wasn't one of mine. Mystery solved (and thanks for the freebie!).

The red ro/di line going into the bucket (with a fancy sch80 1.5" coupler tie wrapped to it for weight) goes up thru the floor into the bathroom. My ro/di is under the bathroom sink. I just manually fill the pail once a week. Pretty low tech!

Haha, your welcome dude.

Those kent pails are pretty sweet, I love that they hold like 7 gallons (thats one of the super tall ones, my other kent pail is an inch shorter).

Haha plumbing seems to be a common use item for weighing stuff down.

I've run into the bottom of the shelf probably 10 times. I think it's finally sunk in and I haven't done it in a few trips. One of the first times the impact loosened a screw holding the bracket to the shelf. The next time I hit it it drove the screw into my shoulder and I got torn up pretty bad!

I was STILL too lazy to move it between the studs or onto the other side. I think it looks hilarious and I like a little ghetto in my builds =)
