Alright, you asked for it.

The lower, storage part of the unit is all primed but not painted. Spoiler, the paint color is white. It took 2 coats of primer because my fancy eco friendly primer is awful to work with

I have gotten more done on the upper part of the upper part of the unit (Tad’s tank). One of the doors is primed. The other needed some repairs so I am waiting for the glue to dry before priming.

Annnnddd as if this evening I am done painting the interior of the “tank”. The unpainted bits will all be covered by vinyl or tile.

The outside of the tank is fully primed and I have started painting it with high gloss. That is why it is on its side in the photo.

Wow. Lots and lots of work. Tad better be grateful.

THANK YOU! I think once I finally finish painting I will be feeling really good about it. The other steps will be more like decorating

I think she will really dig all the extra space.

So close to being to the fun part. I look forward to the final pics. I demand a modeling shot of Tad in her new tank eating a blueberry.

@CSAchook the time and effort is clearly visible in that gloss! That thing is going to be beautiful!

Yeah, if I can just get the painting done, then I can at least put on the pretty new door handles I bought.


And haha will do! She is a very photogenic little beast

Thank you! DH deserves a lot of the credit. He has been a sanding machine! He sanded before I started painting and between each additional coat. I think it really made a difference.
