My reservoir...

@farlo, thanks, and just wait my friend. All in good time
@BG, that was my next course of action lol. In my off road ventures I have seen many washes with bundles of old, tore down barbed wire... That would have worked great (risk of tetanus aside), but I decided to give this a go. This was free, and didn't take any gas. Free= win.
Keep checking back pplz, I'm excited to get started on the second half.

GAAAHHHH I'm super $(%*$ng pissed! My package was here. It was in the apt complex. But since paypal didn't put the apt # on the shipping address, it is now being returned. So I'm going to be chewing someone's ass today. Thanks Paypal, ya jerk offs.

This is exactly why when I lived in an apartment I had everything delivered to work. ..well, that and the one time I had something delivered to the apartment and it was left outside my door it..well, let's just say that by the time I got home ~4-5 hours later, it was nowhere to be seen.

yea I usually have stuff delivered to work as well, but mostly so it's not left outside if it's raining or snowing. My wife and I rent an apt that's part of my parent's house, so no matter where it gets left it'll get to me lol

It's a Christmas miracle!!!! Don't ask me how, but somehow my package went from "Undeliverable as addressed, return to sender." To, delivered! Yeah I totally don't get it. But hey whatever I'm stoked. Progress will continue!
I'll be posting pics later on today, after I get home. You'll never guess in a million years what it is. Muahaha

OK pplz, here it is. The first piece to stage 2, which is....
The stand! (No, not the Steven King movie.)

Heheh, nice. Is it real or epoxy-resin?

[Mark_Hardware]

haha no it's plastic something. It's 4th quality medical skeleton, so it's life-size, durable, and has some decent weight to it.
No, it will really have some decent weight to it when I'm done :p

So anyways, how about a nice, double post for ya
I just want to share the work I got done today.
