Re: Bobby's tank build.

I have never put hardwood down before, and its tuff. My hands and back are very sore and I'm only half way done. I'll be glad when it's all done.

Re: Bobby's tank build.

Well The gun I had was getting worn out, because they said it should drive in the nail with a normal hammer blow, but I had to hit it as hard as I could and some still didn't go in. So then I had to go back over them and fixem it took forever to get were I am. I just took the gun back and asked for the other one on monday for the remanding time I had since I was having soo much trouble with the gun, and he said no prob, so I'll be finishing this thing mon, and hopefully with a good gun.LOL

Re: Bobby's tank build.

Oh BTW I had the living $H!T scared out of me. I put gloves on because the hammer was hurting my hand and was swinging the hammer so hard it slipped out of my hand and missed the 55 gal by about2 inches. Talk about your heart sink down to your feet! The tank is full of saltwater that would have ruined the new floor, and I would have shot my self for it.LOL
