  1. Why thinking thing through is a good thing!

    Last night my other half, Kevin, and I are hanging out in our basement/demo central. We were trying to make a shopping list for the hardware store so that we can finish the fishroom after the delivery of our water change tank. So our shopping list starts piling up and Kevin turns to me and says "where do you want the hole for the fan exhaust?"

    Here's the basic layout with the entry doors.


    This is a very simple rendition showing where everything has been for the past few years.
