DuffyGeos October 5, 2014 Share October 5, 2014 Cool looking stand. Are you going to put something under it to prevent damage to the new floor? Maybe build a wood bottom, wood skirt that comes up to the bottom of where you will have doors and set it on a neoprene pad. Paint, caulk, seal the inside so that it can catch any water that spills on the inside. If you build it where the skirt actually sits 1/2" outside the panels on the side it may catch any water that spills from a overflow down the sides of the tank and sides..... Thought about this if I had not build a wet room with a drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YHSublime October 5, 2014 Author Share October 5, 2014 Looks sweet, great job on the floors!! Thank you, sir. Getting there. Once I cranked out the living room, I finished half the bedroom in about 30 minutes. Cool looking stand. Are you going to put something under it to prevent damage to the new floor?

Thought about this if I had not build a wet room with a drain. Yeah, Tony did a great job with it. I was thinking about it tonight, not really sure how I'm going to handle it. I was going to at least throw some of the moisture barrier underneath it. It's sitting on about a dozen heavy duty furniture pads at the moment, as is anything else that comes within a small radius of my new floors. That's a good idea above, I've got tons to think about, and unfortunately only a third of them involve the tank. We set the stand out to see what a peninsula build would have looked like. We are regretting not doing it now, as the space would have been a plenty. Oh well, next place. Still aiming for epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime October 5, 2014 Author Share October 5, 2014 What size was the tubing on that stand? Ken, 3 holes in the back wall and a mortgage. Eric: I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueTricia October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 That's a beautiful job on the floors my friend. And that's a beautiful stand. I can't wait to see the final product. This is going to be Isaac's home build too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be Isaac's home build too! Thanks! I am also looking forward to the final product. There is a lot in motion ATM, so it will be nice to get it wet and hopefully kill a cycle quickly!

DCReefer1964 October 7, 2014 Share October 7, 2014 (edited) Well, I've been more absent lately, but great news to report. Living room floors are complete, and my stand has arrived. Now I've got to crank the bedroom, closets, and hallway out as quickly as possible so we can clean up, paint, and get rid if all this freaking dust! Was the stand built by Baltimore Tony ? BTW the floors look great. I would suggest having a PVC sheet fabricated like the DSA stands. It have saved me on a few occasions.

YHSublime October 17, 2014 Author Share October 17, 2014 I've been MIA. You posting that thing up in the wall? Nah man, we bought a place right around the corner, closer to the cvs/Harris teeter/rt 50 side. Just over the glebe road way. No room for in wall, but enough room to negotiate 6" more depth with the ol' lady. Looks awesome! Thanks! It's doubling as a workbench ATM, I'm about 24 hours out from finishing sanding and staining the kitchen cabinets. Tank comes in Sunday, and I've got Aquabox building me a customs solution overflow, internal and external box. ERC is arranging all communication, and I am tickled pink to see the end results.

DuffyGeos October 21, 2014 Share October 21, 2014 Isaac, I hate to be picky...but isn't the shower curtain suppose to go past the tub to keep the water in? Looks like you did a great job! I am sure you will be proud of this apartment "build" for a long time. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
