Nice job! Did you think about installing a programable switch for your lights? You can do this by splitting the outlets and having one constant power with the other connected to the programable switch. Just use 12/3 wire and use one color for constant power and one off the switch. Then you can control all the lights all at once programable or over ride manually to turn them on.

Your welcome Buckcich, I thought of this idea awhile back when I say the Programable switches on sale. Grab one for 28 bucks too.

Looking good. I do have one question though. Those bottles of medication, the ones with the red and white labels, what is the name of it and what is it used to treat?:beerchug:

LOL. Those are Fish Bud-dies.
Looking great, John. :beerchug:
Seems like a nice-sized space. Love the table and chairs. I wish I had more room to sit back and chill in my little fish-cave.
