    Got all the inside seams done, all the masking tape out...gonna let it cure for a couple days before I do a water test..then, upon successful test, I will apply the 90 degree trim to the outside edges...test again...and then...and then...

    Great looking sump/fuge so far. If your wife and daughter leave you alone again after you are finished and need some more "theraypy" I could use a custom built fuge;)

    Water test..Just doing the bottom and up about 4 inches..no bracing yet.
    been three hours..no moisture evident on the towel, I will let it go for a couple more hours...then its a wrap..will move onto the next step...Got good 'ol boy Buddy (11yrs.) keeping an eye on it...I'm really surprised he has not "raised his leg" on it yet ..LOL ; )
