I think we call that type "carambolage" and the other "eight ball", no?

Yeah, pretty much... except eight-ball is not what the cool kids play.

Just learn nine-ball, one-pocket and straight pool. You typically see more nine-ball being played than anything, and the old farts/really technical players play the other two more.

Back to the topic at hand:
Don't buy wire for the electrical without talking to me first. I have several pieces of spools left over from building the house. Also a few switches and receptacles.

Ask Barry,
He hasn't returned the escapee yet, LOL

We'll need to evict him from Sandies tank first...

You scared the c*** out of him and it was either hide in live rock or get eating by the anemone.....

 

[cr500_af]

He is still happy for the time being... may set a Coke bottle trap for him and see if I can catch him for return this weekend.

Floors are done, and outlets are set, next is the electrical wiring next weekend (Thanks Eric!)...

If anyone has a good suggestion on a humidity controller or humidity sensing fan - please let me know...

Barry and Eric were (again) the ones doing the most work, helping w the electrical wiring and putting up the drywall.
next steps are sanding, sanding and more sanding and then painting with Killz, I decided to go with an unusual ceiling "cover", it will help insulate (1), reflect light (2) and help me NOT to sand the ceiling (3 LOL):
