With the tank all level it is time to start putting it all back together.

Back panels and power box supply box goes on.



Now I have a real mess going on, glad the wife is in a good mood today.



Now the doors.

Tell me about it, it looked like I was pout on in that pic when we were just outside the door but it was from a little pain in the arm I had surgery on last year in Sept. Had to have the plate replaced in my left forearm because it was broken.
