oops....
I had fun today.... Got a call from the wife... "Come home the house is on fire!"

Lucky me! Turns out it wasn't that bad and everyone is safe the best part is that it wasn't my tank that started it so it gets to stay

Thanks every one for the offers to help, it's truly appreciated but I think I'm just going to hire someone to come fix it. I guess I'll know for sure after I get a few estimates though...
