Installed a couple Icecap fans & doors on stand .
Thank god that's over , I hate doing finishing work & have the blisters to prove it.

Fans are a good idea to keep the lower area well ventilated, if you need help I'm available, probably 4 guys minimum is a good idea for lifting and placing. You don't want to crack that new bad boy!

Thanks Laurie, I might just take you up on the offer. I'm not sure when it will be delivered & may need some extra help.

No problem, give me some lead time if possible, there's probably other fellow reefers that will chime in to help I'm sure.

Received the rock from Eli this morning at 9am. So grabbed a coffee & started assembling with figicrete . That stuff is cool & sets really fast . Doesn't look quite the way it did from Eli's pics but I think it works .

So being very impatient, phoned shipping company & I think I may be getting a tank tomorrow (Saturday).
So if anyone is around late afternoon , in Cloverdale area , I'm trying to round up people .

Might have enough people but you never know .
By the way : pretty easy , roll on cart , lift 3" lip from garage to house , roll to stand , lift & push .
No Stairs !!!!
