Default Progress today on the fishhouse



South side with one of the roof panels proped against it



North side, outside done except for doors




Fan moved from greenhouse to fishhouse



East side, frame in place for temperature controled window

Was able to take advantage of the decent weather and a day off and get some work done on the fishhouse.

Looking good Dino! It looks like the fishhouse will be ready for inspection next month! It would be great to have more AAAA members attend the club meeting!

East exterior wall has all wood in place.

I am hoping to have everything up and set in April.

So far, I have spent about $18,000.

That covers, concrete pad, wood, electrical, heating unit, clear roofing material, temperature controled window, water heater, and insulation .
Another 3000- 4000 $ will see it complete.
As for the aquaria and such, I have been gathering it for years and already have 2,000 gallons worth of glass and 2000 gallons worth of plastic ready to go in.

I'll be coming by for a visit when it's complete. I would like to setup something like that when I retire.

I currently have 104 tanks set up.
The first of the permenent stands is built and is holding 32 ten gallon tanks.
There is a couch in there, which is on the south wall and recieves no direct sunlight.
