The Metal 180 build

Thanks... The plumbing is all roughed in now, I'll finish glueing it up tonight and start filling the tank. Then it's on to fabbing the canopy and lights.

Twisted, I think that was Parrot's new python - He/she is a monster!

She is not a monster, only 5 - 6 feet

Yes that's some darn good ale and the best part is.... It's 10%!!!

The bad part is... It's about $18 a six pack!

But, on the bright side, at least there's three of them left in the fridge for tonight.

Haven't tried that one... Definitely will try to find it now though. Thanks

Just an update... I noticed some scratches that I missed originally so guess what I'm doing now. That's right, I'm about 1/3 of the way through sanding the entire tank and buffing it back out

Anyone who's ever done this knows why my back, arms and chest are killing me at the moment but all it really takes is alot of beer, elbow grease and patience. Oh well, at least I've got plenty of beer!

I'll post some pics when I get her all smoothed out.

No pain,no grain alcohol.

I prefer corn myself, spent some time in north Georgia

May be about time to get the still fired up... They call us hillbillies for a reason you know and it's got nothing to do with having a "perty mouth" contrary to popular belief.

I made over 12000 last year, and my wife is not my cousin, I'm a Mountain William, not a hillbilly

Picked some up at whole foods yesterday... Outstanding!!! Pricey as the hopslam too, but well worth it! Thanks!

I've finally got the plumbing about sorted out... Put some tapwater in to test everything good with and it's all looking good now. Still have a couple of small problems to sort out with the returns but all in all, I really like what I'm seeing and hearing at this point. Still getting some crashing noise from the first 90 on the drain to the sump but it is desirable IMO since it allows the water level to fluctuate slightly and it sounds just like the surf at the beech. Anyway, I'll put up some pics whenever the forum gets back to normal.

glad you liked it! glad you are happy with the tank progress...cant wait till we can start posting pics again.
