    we received a call from our builder today regarding the stand…with the cold weather we’ve been having here in chicago,
    (-1F)  when routing the edges flush there was chipping in a corner….so it will not be ready till next week at the earliest as he wants to re-skin the entire base so it matches evenly. here’s a teaser thumbnail pic…

    we had planned to pick it up tomorrow morning, but this will give us  more time to finalize the plumbing and planning to transfer the livestock.

      What material is your builder using to skin the stand? I think I’m going to make some panels to use above my new tank. Right now I’m thinking translucent red plexiglass (allows shadows and light to pass, but you dont actually see through it), but I’m still debating whether to do that or use solid panels.

      it’s a white laminate material. i’m not sure what kind exactly, we just told him we wanted a solid white laminate.

      red plexi….hmmm
      sounds scary mike, i think we need to have a talk ;o)

      i’d go with a solid opaque or nice veneer.
