All of you are just amazing. My daughter came by last night with the children, I told her my sump arrived and before I could finish the sentence she got all excited and wanted to see it...I was kind of surprised at her reaction. I told her about the sump, everyone in the family knew about it, but I didn't know they were waiting to see it too.
When I showed her how it was damaged..You would think she had built it she was so angry. Then I spent an hour telling about everything else and about all of you guys. She was just floored at how everyone on the project is working together, it's really something special to know of people doing stuff like this, but to part of it...to be the recipient of it...again, I'm just blown away at your generosity and so is she.
You guys really do ROCK! Now lets hope this post doesn't go blank.

Shawn, I am also thinking of maybe building the fuge here, I can get some 3/8" material from work. We should get a hold of FED EX and see if they would cut us a deal for shipping to Flower, once they hear the story maybe it would benefit them, considering all the packages that are shipped for reefer. Maybe they will give us a freebie.

Not a bad idea.... My neighbor Mark works for Fed Ex.... I'll talk with him and see if he can get me a contact to talk to, and fill them in. If anyone out there has a contact with Fed Ex please speak up!!!!
Flower this thread won't go blank.... I have to sit down and go back to the awesome drawings done by Al to get the build sheet again, and Monday morning my buddy Matt from Grims will be getting a call to get things rolling again!!!

Shawn, count me in for building the fuge here, I assume the drawings are still OK. What ever route we go with shipping - either Monsinour driving or FED EX. I would like to come down to Harrisburg some day, who knows, need to get some inspiration for a plywood tank.

Yes Al the drawings are accurate.... I don't remember the exact height I drilled the holes for the bulkheads though!!!!

So I know I haven't said really anything in this thread. But I have been following it the whole time. Since the refugium broke I must say, you all have really come together and this shows an unreal comradery that this forum has built. This whole thread shows how many good people there are out there! If I can ever think of anyway I can help I will voice it. Acrylic PM me and let me know the costs of the build. I'll see what I can do as far as covering some of it.

Well, I'm in Alaska Flower, but if you have a paypal account or soemthing where I could drop a donation to help pay for materials or gas or lodging.
If every body chipped in a bit we could get this done any way you like :)

Flower is correct we are kicking things around at the very moment, and honestly Flower my engine is getting all rev'd up ready to fire up the garage again and get moving again....I was going to call my buddy Matt and then I thought, he'd kill me for pulling him away from coaching little league football. There's so much buzz right now and everyone is ready to kick it into high gear.....
Al, that sounds about right......I wish I had taken a measurement, but never figured we'd be rebuilding from scratch.....
but hey!!!!!! We are only given what we can handle....Nothing more nothing less.....I have to look at it; that everything happens for a reason, we might not see it today, but there is a reason for everything.....
Jstdv8 we are in the planning stage on your idea, and give us a few moments here, and were trying to get things setup.....It's amazing the amount of support and offers that have come up since this mishap, but were trying to work some logistics, to keep things correct. To you and all others putting offers on the table; it is greatly appreciated, and not forgotten, just bear with us, and it will unfold shortly!!!!!!

I thought you guys were good friends before....Now I see you are all beyond that. I have never seen the people come together like this on a web site, something beyond wonderful is unfolding. I will have to go back and work some more on that poem.
