That is one rock solid looking stand, have you put in any thought as to how you plan to skin it?
My kids are the same way.....if i'm workin on a project they have to be right in the middle of it.....cute

Well last night I let her use the actual KILZ. Yeah doesn't come off the hands too well and she's not as thorough as I'd like lol. So I'm going to have her paint all the studs down there...gives the wife a break and we have fun.
The fishroom wall will be drywall and the stand itself will be finished just like my current tank. 1/2" ply with a shallow ledge done in white with a little simple trim pieces added for effect. I do have a few boxes of leftover tile from our last place (floor tiles) and If I have enough I might do a strip around the tank since If I spilled that's where it'll be.

It's funny...things like cleaning filter socks are only annoying until you have to paint the inside of a stand. All I could think of was I'm too damn old to be under there.

Haven't been around much lately so went to check to see how the 97 was coming along and I saw this - wow
 . This is great, glad you are able to pull this together. Look forward to seeing it being assembled.

Yeah me too haha.
My son and I have been cleaning in the basement all day today. I've nearly got it spotless and if you recall the before pics you know I've done some real miracle-working there! My glass is getting cut and polished tomorrow!

Well here's a fun update! Concept Aquariums came by tonight and I had a front row seat (and lifted some glass to boot). My future fish house has walls! Top and bottom bracing to be completed soon.
My cat is so ****ed that she can't hop up on the stand anymore. I wish I had video of her attempt to do so haha. View from my desk:  And standing back a bit:
