Wow, so many things that haven't even occured to me. For example, the affects of salt water on a home/basement sump pump. Also, as tmz pointed out, I should have a check valve on the return. I love all of this feedback though. With it, I feel that I will have a great system.
This picture is with the stain before the gloss coat. The stain I decided to go with is cherry-mohogany. It's looking great!!!!
