Any recommendations for who to ask or where to go for cheapest/best? I only need to drill a 10g.

Thanks!

I was walking down the street and a man was hammering on a roof top and he called me a Paranoid Little Weirdo. . . in morse code.

FISHTAILS also drills tanks

Snigger doesn't drill tanks anymore :(

I'll give Fishtails a call. Anyone else do it?

Thanks!

I drilled my own Lil.  Its not that hard but in my research leading up to me drilling my tank I read on a couple websites/forums that drilling a 10g is hard to do because the glass is thin and cracks easily.

I tried drilling a 10 gallon and it cracked. It will be tough thats for sure.

AWESOME.

Word to the wise, if you get Fishdaddy to do this, make sure it's between 2 and 4pm in the afternoon.  He's usually out partying like rockstar till the wee-hours so when he finally gets out of whom ever's bed he went to sleep in, its well after 10am... then he pounds coffee and espresso until lunch... gittery hands do not make good holes... around noon he usually had his first hit, so by 5pm he needs another... there's the sweet-spot between 2pm and 4pm when he's still buzzed enough so that he's a nice guy to be around and doesn't yet have the shakes jones'n for his next hit...

Oh sure, like all dead-beats, he too has a story about this legitimate job that he has... sure Shawn, sure... you're in the recycling business.. yeah, and my Italian friend really is in waste management too...  ;)

first of all time its spelt shaun....i do agree that it should be spelt shawn as that is the "normal" way to spell it!

and i dont think shau/wn really works if he is in the recycling business cant be doing to good driving that truck with the bumper thats half hangin off....poor guy!

Yes.

Spelt Spelt, n. [AS. spelt, fr. L. spelta.] (Bot.)
A species of grain ({Triticum Spelta}) much cultivated for food in Germany and Switzerland; -- called also German wheat.  [1913 Webster]

Master Webster, Get it right. Only the genus name is capitalized and spelled out in full on the first occurrence in a body or section of literature and may be abbreviated to a single letter in subsequent references to the same genus in the same text, where it will not cause confusion, and the species name is in lower case for both plants and animals and is never abbreviated. Additionally the whole name should be in italics or underlined to identify it as a authoritative name and it should be followed by an fully spelled out or abbreviated authority name, such as, Triticum spelta L. or alternatively, Triticum spelta L and may be used as T. spelta L. or alternatively, T. spelta L in the same work. Where 'L.' is understood to refer to Carl Linnaeus (Carl von Linné, 1707 - 78), the father of modern taxonomy.

Also:
Spelt Spelt,  imp. & p. p. of Spell. Spelled.  [1913 Webster]

It works in Scabble.

BTW: Howz dat for before coffee on a Saturday morning, and unlike fishdaddy, I make no claims of a legitimate job. . .

LOL, I do hope that the readers of OVAS understand and picked up on the fact that Hookups is joking about Fishdaddy and that they know eachother quite well :)
