Fellow MFKer Needs Help-Arapaimaman needs help finishing 15000 gal tank Central FL
- Thread starter robkob
- Start date
DAY 1
So here's the way the day went...
9:30 am Cameron, Ron and I met at Gander Mtn
9:40 fill up the gas guzzler and head 30+ miles to Paisley
10:40 arrive at Pat's house and promptly soil ourselves upon seeing this monster tank
12:00 roadtrip to Lowes for supplies
2:00 work finally starts
2:00 - 5:00 Cameron and I drilled 8 holes through a 1/2" of fiberglass and 1 1/2" marine grade plywood and set eight 2" bulkheads. We (actually me) managed to burn up a brand new hammer drill in the process. Ron drilled two 3" holes in a solid concrete filled block wall. Fortunately he brought the right tools for the job!
5:00 call it a day and head home
Here are some pics. Special thanks to Cameron who performed the most important job of the day, taking the pics.
More pics of day 1 to come on another day... and there will be a day 2 in a couple of weeks.
