    I'm waiting for delivery of a special 4" hole saw to cut the cement board of my house. Found some things behind the wall when exploring, of course, but managed to come up with a game plan that will work. Have to move a couple of things.... like my RO/DI. Dang it. Just one square lower.

    The skimmer is attached to the top of the sump now to get the proper flow. It actually ended up working better. I'd take pictures but it's raining outside and our furnace broke O.O Fun month

    Everything is pretty much done in the shed. Just a few more things, mostly things that need to be done after it sees water.Not going to secure all of the wires until I know for sure everything is connected correctly.

    Prettied up some wires.....

    My back is totally thrown out again. Probably from crawling around under here. Out in some cushion.

    Got the hole planned. You can see the light from outside. Waiting for a 4" carbide hole saw to be delivered to get through the cement board. There were some wooden boards in there that we didn't expect and changed the plans a little. But it's that always the way.

    Little thingy to support the DJ systems and controller. Not going to install it though until everything else is done under there.

    Little pump action.

    This is really cool; you're doing great and I really like how you're taking your time and not rushing it to 'make it work'

    There has been SO many wrenches and most were just life in general. But this tank is smack dap in the middle of my house. Visible from all downstair rooms. It has to be right.

    The hole saw shipped on the 15th.

    KK, my back surgery is the first week of Jan, so I have to get to work. Figure I can't do any more damage now and I won't be allowed to do it after.

    I just need that freaking holesaw!

    Dang, that sucks Incog, hopefully it is not too terribly painful. And I hope you are able to make some good progress before you are laid low for a while!

    There's nothing in there yet.

    The delay is not mine... I've received the 12" extension for the hole saw.... but no freaking holesaw. I emailed the company, but no word yet.

    I ordered it on Dec 11th. I'm debating cancelling payment and getting one elsewhere. I emailed them, they haven't emailed back.
