Thanks,....tried up loading pics last night and my HP photo program seems to have taken a dump and keeps giving me an error, so trying to figure out how to get my pictures out of it, and get new program to edit my pics in.....Any suggestions out there?????
I did get the first coat of stain on the stand last night, and I'm pretty pleased....Still have a couple areas I want to look at carefully before the 2nd coat is applied, but hopefully by this evening I'll have some pics posted.....

Yeah they are in a folder as well outside the PhotoPremier program.....I'm just looking for another program that I can organize my different pics in from family and work and stuff.....Thanks.......I did post on your thread, don't know if I was much help, but throw some drawing up there what you have in mind and we'll get it working....

Up above you asked about "VLP" sprayers. I know alot about "HVLP" (high volume low pressure" sprayers. For your job they would work out pretty good. However, you will have a whole bunch of masking to do. Personally I would mask off my edging for hand applying conditioner and stain. Then mask off all glass and drywall back aboyt 2 fott from spray lines. Drop a mask film over door into house, open door to garage and put in a box fan to suck out fumes/exhuast, then put a tarp down on new tile, and one out into garage so if you drip you don't track it.
If you have a Sherwin-Williams close by - they rent equipment - rent a CAP9100 HVLP and pot gun. Tell them you will be spraying (oil bases I hope)
so they can make sure the right tip and needle are in. Whatever your final fish is to be I would suggest at least two coats of gloss. Then sand and tack. Finally one or two coats finish. The reason for gloss is anymore it's cheaper than a sanding sealer, it won't build up a milky film like satin, and it actually sands easily! I like the purple Scotch brite pads for between coat sanding, conforms well to angles nooks and crannies. Holler if you need tech support or advice (Dennis Cook - dejaco@bresnan.net) if we need I can give ya my home phone and talk ya through most anything. Just an offer - not trying to tell ya what to do! Anymore the contractors just send all windows, doors, jambs, base, case, and assorted trim pcs to my shop and we do it there (only have to go on site to fill holes, and final coat!).

if you get the latest version of photoshop , "CS II" it comes with an additional program called Adobe Bridge, which has a neat function where you can tell it to do batch file processing. for example after i go through pics i have taken from the camera, i will clean up the good ones, delete the majority which arent good, and then batch process them to be copied into a new folder , resized to fit posting rules on SWF

Didn't know anything about it....Where's it going to be held??? Is this a NCPARS event?
yes its a NCPARS event , its being held at a center in reading.. i can get you details if you wish.
thatw ould be cool to meet you and talk about what we build! maybe evan try to spread the word about how we do it..
they were lookign for demonstrations awhile back and iw as thinkign maybe me and you get together at a swap and build a small acrylic tank or refuge just to show people how it works and how we do it, then we can auction it off.
i know i have alot of spare acrylic and all the weld-ons one would ever need

I envy your tank,plumbing, and everything else you have there, best of luck with it, and keep the pictures coming.
Actually the wife and I are considering building another new house, but can't come to an agreement as to where....She's wants to be in a development with sidewalks and such, but wants horses!!!!!!
Kinda doesn't make sense can't keep horses in a development....Me on the other hand don't want any neighbors, away from everything, so I can enjoy myself and my bike....I grew up in the sticks so figure.......
Honestly though if the tank had to come out it wouldn't be that bad......A little drywall cutting on the front side on both ends roughly 6" up and you can slide the tank.......Easier said than done with sliding the tank......
