alright so here we go! ill try and make this thread look seamless from start to finish!

this is when i started working on the filing cabinet turned sump stand here is the progress so far,





Then I took out all the hardware and the drawers


After gutting the cabinet i took all the fronts off the drawers and used them to make the door so that it still looked like the original cabinet


Then I added a magnet lock


Then I drilled 4 holes in the top of the stand for the overflow and return plumbing to go though




Then it was off to paint!










The next thing for me to is wait until its all try then run a seam of caulking around the bottom edge to make it water tight and then most likely cut one or two more holes in the back to add computer fans for a little air movement and circulation.
