Hey brother! Glad everything worked out for you. I was expecting a call yesterday...lol....It looks really good.

Knowing what components to buy ahead of time made the electrical work go smoothly. Once I know I had all the right stuff its just a matter of making it all fit together

Todays Update:

Finished the wiring in the morning and got the panel back together. All 4 outlets worked right the first time; I didn't have to go back and rework anything thankfully. The top right 4 breakers are the ones I installed; 4 20amp breakers.


Shelves in place with the rad holder in place at mid-day; I ran an internet cable this morning also which is just dangling above my racks to be plugged into a switch that will go on the top shelf.


I soaked the rads with a ~50/50 Water Vinegar mixture last night; so this morning I gave them a good final flushing with the garden hose. Unfortunately I could not find a local shop that would soak and flush the rads so I had to do it the hard-way but they are good to go now.


I ran the plumbing to the the rads and reservoirs for a leak test. Unfortunately I failed that test miserably . The first joint I filled to where the small piping intersets the 4" PVC piping leaks bad so I stopped the test right there and drained down to that point. No suprise that those joints leak, I had to do some custom dremel work at for those holes. If I was to do that again I would look for a brass connector with threads that I could tap into the PVC piping for a more secure fit. Tomorrow i'll go back over the top of all the joints were the small piping meets the 4" piping with another 2 layers of 'goop' and hope that does the trick.


I'll post up some more detailed pics of the WC setup once I get my leaks solved.
