Here’s what got done today….
Up date 9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPxY_hEXUDo
Up date 10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5gJE2wS6Kw
It took an hour and twenty minutes to clean the second pane of glass. A nerve racking hour and twenty minutes…
It took three hours to frame the floor of the addition. The “sleepers” are scribed to fit the very uneven and out of level floor. But at least the floor of the addition will be level…
Thanks for looking and if there’s any questions please feel free to ask!

I made some pretty good headway today, 99% of the framing is done. Just seven small pieces to put in and I can start sheeting!
All the braces under the floor sheeting were installed.
Holes were drilled in the scribed floor joists under the addition.
The floor sheeting was installed and the walls framed.
I also figured out how many gallons of water the tank will hold…
1457.01 gallons! The sump will also have water in it but I haven’t made a 100% decision on the sump yet. It’s got to be quite large in order for it to not run dry before it gets fed. I’m thinking about 175 gallons or 200 gallons should do it.
Here’s a short video…

The sheeting is done! Next is cutting holes in it where the bulkheads are going to be. The reason I’m doing that is because last time there was barely enough thread on the shower drains to make a good seal. I’m going to make the holes slightly larger than the nut for the bulkhead, this way I’m only dealing with the thickness of the hardie panel and pond armor. And yes, I plan to silicone in the bulkheads this time. Last time I did not. I might go get the hardie panel tomorrow and the two sheets of plywood to make the sump tank. The sump tank will be made out of ¾” plywood lined with hardie panel, then lined with pond armor. Enjoy the video!

Hi every impressed with what you've done. Just have a couple of questions. Why didn't you use PT plywood? I'm guessing maybe the seepage of chemicals. Did you frame it 16 OC? How big and the cost of the glass.

I didn't use treated plywood because the tank is getting lined with hardie panel ,then sealed with pond armor. Water sould never get to the plywood... An the studs are 1' oc. for the most part. The short walls on the addition are 10"oc.
As for the cost of glass... I got it two and a half years ago during the build of the 800... it was at a price that was too good to be true... I'll put it to you this way... It's now what you know it's who you know Basicly $100 a piece... They're 72"x30"x3/4" WAY overkill......
