It's an electric soldering iron... and I have a bottle of propane and 2 bottles of propylene that you can sorta see on the left of the pic

So, you were working on your plumbing the other day. Any progress? Any challanges?

Okay here is the thing... my dad is living with me and he has chemical sensitivities (in other words he gets some horrible migraines from glues and such) so I have done what I can outside... My dad is going to visit my sister for a month and he is leaving on the Sunday so I will be able to finish gluing the pipes when I get home on Sunday if I get back from Victoria in time. So far everything looks good and I hope to have fish in the tank by the first week of September... but I'm not going to rush it... so if it's not ready then the fish have to wait... I'm shooting for the first week because the 12th there is a Frag Swap that I'm going to and I would like to be able to buy something

I'm going away for the weekend so there will be no updates past 2:00pm PST on Friday... I'll be back Sunday evening and hope to update with some pics/info on how the plumbing went... if I have the time/energy.

Hi, looking good so far, so is the couch is used to be where the tank is now? How do you find so much time on your hands with 2 kids and a wife? I barely have enough time myself. Here's cheering you on. Regards Ken

Thanks... Ya the love seat couch thing used to be where the tank is I didn't like the couch. About the time... I work 40-60 hours a week, I also run a small business with 7 people on the payroll (I don't seem to make much though it all goes to my employees.. oh well) I also have 2 dogs... that's why I'm going to Victoria, there is a dog show and my golden is competing... But the solution I found is only sleep like 2-4 hours a night... one of my favorite sayings "You can sleep when your dead"

It was my pleasure to come and help out. Can't wait to see it in a few months full of life. Give me a shout anytime if you need help and next time I'll bring the family down.
