Wood basic frame is built
completed the frame now
Wood sheets purchased and my son looking happy 
Front of tank is cut out and fixed into place
Top and sides are now added with trim for the edges
Shaker style doors made now - looking quite swish i think 
Fish tank has been moved to other side of living room and skirting removed ready for cutting up my wood floor to get to the foundations 
<nervous!>
New stand in place and foundations were perfectly level!! very happy and relieved! Ill keep posting the pics - now i have to paint the entire thing! all 8 feet of it!! and then put on the doors and im making 3 more shaker panels - 2 for each side of the doors and one for the side of the stand - i think that will finish it off!!
Just have to sit and wait for the tank to arrive now!
