well things are comming along slowly but nicley the top is cut. were just fitting it now . just having to plane it a bit as the walls in the old house are all wonky.. then we can screw it down and drill holes for return pipes and drains etc. then all we have to do is put the small side pannel on. and the front .. which will be 2 parts. 1 main piece that will be magneted on ( removable for access ) and a small 8" pannel accross the top for controles to be mounted ( temp controle... and eventually a computer )
