So LOML just needed a fish tank in the office. So me being the congenial husband I agree (reluctantly) and we go picked up a 50 gal tank that she found on the internet and got it for $150 (not bad). However, it turned out to be Bubba's place. That's not to important. Back to the stand, it came directly from Bubba's Factory of Fine Furniture. Frame made from construction 2 X 4's, the top and inside shelf made from particle board which I hate. The top had varnish on it to supposedly protect from moisture. The outer skin of the cabinet was 1/4' ply (okay) but the front was pieced together around the door openings with about 6 pieces of ply. I should have just left there with the tank and leave everything else behind. They had some filters in there that they said you never have to change (which they obviously never did in over a year).
When we got home LOML had me throw away all of the things inside the tank to include the gravel, filters and everything else. I kept the 2 X4 frame and inside shelf but replaced everything else. Turner out pretty good.
I just found this amusing. If this offends anyone, I'm sorry, that isn't my intent.
Oh, BTW the side walk is breaking up pretty badly due to sof grounds. I can only imagine what the foundation of the house is like.
I understand I am extremely blessed to be able to live a better lifestyle that many other people. Thank God!
