Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!
Since you're going all out,why not a ATO(auto top off) too.
What about flow?Have you thought of this yet?

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!
Okay here's the *big update*.
Yesterday Neal, Bixler and I stripped the nasty gray spray-applied texture from the stand.   There was wood underneath! Who knew?!?!   Two coats of paint on the stand and trim.  I decided to use magnets instead of hinges for the new doors so that I could completely remove the doors to access the sump. Magnets on the new doors:  I used metal mirror clips at the bottom of each panel to hold the doors on, and metal bars on the top for the magnets to stick too. Hardware on the stand:  Before:  TADA! Finished product, only two days later:  In short, I stripped the blue background and repainted it black. Stripped the gray stand and repainted it black. Added magnetic doors.
