Thanks for the kind words, the workmanship isn't that great really compared to some of the excellent projects on this site.
Can you tell what it is yet? Construction has started!

More bricks Saturday............um..........not much else to say on this. Sucks being in work and unable to progress. Fingers crossed can try adding some more water Thursday, might tempt fate and look at putting a couple of inches in tonight (yeah, that's what she said!) when i get home if the hose isn't frozen.

Filter support/caves mostly. Could probably manage a 2' depth of fill with what i have so far and run the filters properly.........Assuming it doesn't leak again!MaddMaxx;3849260; said:
But was going for 'full' to confirm it holds water before i start moving things into it.You're a funny guy!nolapete;3849304; said:
I'll be full before yours is
hello and good build
I wanted to go through the whole thread to see how things were going before I posted a thought.
If you still have a leak from the window area, here is one thing I think you might be able to use as a fix on it. If it leaks again from the windows (GOD FORBID), you could place in an internal window frame of sorts and plaster huge amounts of sealer on the inside part and let it cure for a good few days before filling.
Then when filling not only would the sealant be between the interior of the window and the water, the pressure of the water would push it to ensure further strength to the seal. Another measure you could use would be to drill pilot holes to anchor the interior window frame with bolts and then seal around the bolts as well, would ensure a tight seal of the interior frame to the inside window.

Thanks. That does sound like a plan, i think the image i have in my head of what you mean is different to what you actually mean as i can't see where to screw through but i don't think it would need it anyway with sealant holding. (and it's not 'if it leaks again', it's 'when it leaks again'!chefjamesscott;3849466; said:
)Anyway, i've done the stupid and decided to tempt fate, quickly put in another couple of inches of water. Got it to just at the visible level at the bottom of the glass and touch wood the space between the glass and the liner is dry at this moment in time. My thinking of leaving it at this level for now is that when it does leak over night hopefully it won't go anywhere and just sit by the glass and i can deal with it tomorrow when i get back.
