well omg
She's bigger in person than just the original black tape on the floor
We had 12 men to help and besides me not being able to stop worrying
All went to plan
We started around 5pm & took about 3 hrs to install
The 40mm base was probably the biggest killer
Billy was efficient & new exactly what needed to be done

Very very happy indeed

Plumbing begins today
Sand in
Getting excited

@Lesley didn't you recently build a new tank? like a year ago? or was it someone else? probably I'm mistaken.

The only trouble I can see there, is that there's still room left in that room - something bigger next year maybe? Haha
