    Got these today for lighting the fishroom. They're T8 water resistant fixtures with a battery back up. They're also intrinsically safe, and used in places like paint booths, and other areas with high moisture content. I'm excited to see them fired up.

  2. Chugging along

    Just a quick little update. Tibet passed her water with no issues.

    We've been battling with the city about our electrical and water meters for almost 7 months now. They are trying to force meter moves to locations that are convient for them in our house, but not logical for living, or re-sale in the future. Its been annoying, tedious, and easily equatable to teeth pulling. Pretty much we've been waiting for someone at the city to realize that there is no logic in moving meters into ...

  5. T-4 days until the glass arrives

    by , 11-22-2010 at 12:53 PM (T.I.B.E.T (The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank))
    So its another nasty cold winter day here in town, we have some beautiful blowing snow, and some -30 weather. We kept busy, and warm, this past weekend by making one last trip to the dump, cleaning up the floor, getting all of our insulation into the tank room, and getting our blue board up. I also realized this morning that I forgot to buy a door for the tank room. I to buy one sooner rather then later I think.

    The glass arrives on Friday, it will just be the tank glass for now. ...
