Putting the mock plumbing together.

Few changes needing to be done with plumbing and I need to order my overflow box or maybe build a custom overflow box.

Started to paint.

I usually use a small sponge roller but after getting back from Lowes I discovered that my roller could not be found so I done it with a brush.

Finished product.

What a great evening it was lastnight to be working out in the garage.

Working on the light tree.

Need to tweak with it tomorrow putting hanging kit on it and bolt it into stand with bolts to make it more sturdy

That is on the list of things to do.

Price came by that I couldn't turn up. So I jumped at it.

Haha thanks. Yah with this build I looked at all my flaws about my past builds and corrected them before they were an issue again.
