well it would ruin my garage. Don't know that I could do something of this magnitude in my house lol. When are you getting started on your build basslover? I need to see a thread for it lol. We can feed off of each other's threads. It will be a rare moment when two 4000+ gal tanks are being built and reported on at the same time.

thanks shovelnose. Going to the store today to get more screws and more bits. Plan on spending around $25. Other than that I plan to get down to business for a few hours at least today. Don't know how much progress I'll make, but Trying to get it out to 8' mark today, and the 10' mark tomorrow. I think you get the picture. Plan on having it fully skeletonized by the end of next week.

Ok so I bought five more pounds of 3" #8 screws today. I also took the tank out to around 7.5' mark, but also cut the small blanks for the top of the frame. So tomorrow I will do the top of the frame so that I can really start making progress again. I still plan on taking it out to at least 10' tomorrow. Trying to keep up on my goals. I would have made it further but didn't have as much time to work on it as I thought I would. Also have to put the next piece of ply on the bottom somehow. lol. Should be interesting. Here's a pic or two.
