I never redid the window. When i saw where the leaks were i could not imagine it could come from the window.. I did a 120cmx90cm sheet on the problem area of the bottom, and 10x10 in the seam between backwall and floor in that problem area..What took most time was to actually get myselfe to empty the last 2cm of water that was left after emptying it, crap work that took 1h each time.. And when motivation is not at top, that houre is actually 2 weeks of work 
Was out in the wood collecting some driftwood today. 4 days an no water in any area must mean that its holding water right? So now its on to the other stages.. Tomorrow i will start the filter installation, hope to be done, but i dont know for sure.. Heres some pics of the plywood. longest is almost 2 meters.. They were pretty damn heavy to cary to the car(from the big water i found them in).
I really hope this time its ok I installed the filter 2 days ago, 29 glueings , i did use flexi pipes, will never do that again.. It had bin on a roll for for 4 months, and 50mm, it had its own way of behaving to say the least. That said, i tryd to fill it yesterday, and i think it leaked in every single glue connection, as expected actually.. The Glue was crap, the pipes were crap, everything was crap actually.. So today i used aquarium silicone to fix every connection,all 29 of them actually, that was also a crap jobb, hope it holds tho! From now on out, i hope everything is pure joy and happyness hehe..
The misstress in the house got mad offcourse, since i stayd downstairs for a whole houre to silicone.. Its a battle you cant win, if you do, she never sees you, and thats offcourse very wrong.. When you just sit in the sofa holding hands, nothing gets done, and thats offcourse very wrong.. How to find the balanse? Any clues out there that ive missed?
