yeah i'm hoping once the foam dries i can cut out a good bit of it & then hopefully the epoxy & sand will make it look more one piece

whatcha think of the end result of the caves/swim-thru??

no time or $$$ to do anything w/ it at the moment.....that coupled w/ the fact that i might be moving end of the summer, it's been pushed to the side in limbo for awhile

i ended up selling it all....might be moving & pretty much got rid of everything till i know where i'll be going & have a chance to do a more permanent setup

it had taken up a spot in the living/dining room area where i was working on it. i still glance at that area & see the empty spot & get

i hated selling it, but i might be moving & if i do, i won't have any way to take it w/ me, so i went ahead & let it go

on a positive note, the guy that got it (for a steal i might add LOL) will more then likely finish it as i had planned

thanks. i literally spent a week or 2 "what if-ing" things in my head before even starting. every person that saw it was amazed at all the thought & incorporation i managed to get into it LOL

next one i hope to incorporate as much as i can, but i think i will keep it on a very small scale.....more than likely a 15 or 20L all-in-one

tholton33 · 08/01/2009, 07:53 PM

you def. inspired me with your build. i feel for you on the move. i just moved twice in a matter of 2 weeks and probably again soon. just moving from temp. place to place and luckily i moved my 29 directly to a friends and he is taking care of it until my housing gets more permanent. I had thoughts of selling it many times, should have but just couldnt. i look forward to your future builds. keep us posted
