I take it that whilst I;m sitting here with the fire on chilling your grafting in your shed lol

seriously though if I had the opportunity for that end product I would be myself. I;m in the process of upgrading my house to hopefully my final family home just need someone to buy the present , I;m now beginning to think of replicating your build in next couple of years, would you be able to indicate the final cost of your projext at this stage T1?

gOOD LUCK!!

i dont have a spare room to take up with a 8x6 tank if you do you should have done this years ago as it would have been a lot less work than i have had to do

i live in central london with high house prices so every room counts

 

[dave_oddballs]

ah i used to work with that stuff, is it u shaped pipe support? we used to supply it, its strong stuff, obviously done some research!
its all coming together, what are you putting between the steel and the tank bottom? wood i suppose?

there is nothing wrong with putting a tank in the shed, its well insulated and will probably hold a stable temperature just aswel, if not better, than a brick built shed.

 

[T1KARMANN]

the back blocks will have styro foam put in the middle for more insulation then a wood 1 inch ply box made so you wont see any of the blocks when you open the sump doors

then 2 x sheets of 1 inch ply on top job done
