Here you'll find all collections you've created before.
Wrong it’s 16’in away on 2×4 OR in older houses is 24in away from each other
Your delivery is to long
Now how to do that with a brick-and-mortar divider wall…
Would love to own a house with studs every eight inches but as a builder I think I would quit that day. Sounds absolutely Insane to me. Even most apartment buildings I’ve helped build weren’t quite that close together. I believe it was 10” but uncertain anymore.
So it's ok to have the tank a 1/2 inch off the stand over the drywall?
Pro-tip: Here in the United States studs are placed every 16 inches on center. Not every 8.
Like him, but doesn't frame it, doesn't support the wall, someone will mess this up
2019?
Are You the only one who builds aquariums? Your the only one I see
too much talk, u make me sleepy
Looks like a 42 inch hanging on the wall.
love it this guy is fantastic
I started my adventure with wood thanks to plans from the Stodoys.
He’s hot
Jo are you like 12 years old in this one ha ha
One suggestion – I think you may have made the cutout too tall – the dead space above the water line really takes away from the beauty of the overall look. If you had compensated for that in the cutout it really would have looked like a flat panel.
Good decision.
Hey buddy. Beautiful job dr., what kind of wood was your trim and table?
hey, where in canada are you from?
how often do you have to clean it and how do you do this
why didn't u brace the studs with a 1×8 or something
Well the water would actually damage the drywall pretty pretty bad. What did you do for condensation?
"Night tice fit" lol, great video btw thumbs up
Eight inches? Wow, houses must be built strong where you live. It's 16" on center for studs here in most areas of America unless it is my hovel, which seems to have been built by drunk people with a random sense of what 16" on center means, lol. Still, great video and instructions.
Great instructional video. Looks like you have black mold growing on bottom of your foundation wall. Could be a sign of water damage.
Hey Joey. If you did this in the wall that connects to the garage, is there anything else you should do to prevent winter drafts from coming in?
Check your local code first. Depending on your location, it may not be legal to cut an opening between the garage and living space.
@MrBastardly Thank you! I thought so but wasn't sure.
Joey, I am going to attempt this with my father. We are using a 75 gallon tank that will house turtles and cichlids. The back of the tank is painted (thanks to your vids), but I was wondering if I should paint the sides as well? I don't want the garage to be seen through the side panels. Also, did you place something over the dry wall seams so that it would not be exposed to the tank?
Lol I thought it was a flat screen as well…that is awesome man…nice job…I would love to do one of those but would have to build a fake wall with door and everything to do water changes…
How r u going to do water changes and feeding the fish??
I am putting a new one next month..will let you know what it looks like
