i was just out in the garage pulling some measurements from the inside of the tank, and wanted to see how the new barrel would look in place ....... and it won't fit! the problem is, my shower curtain rod is a bit longer than Brian's was out the back of the finished barrel. i made mine to use the entire 1.5" thickness of the mantel as support as it is a nice, snug fit, Brian's was less half of that and only rested in the first 1/2" and the holes behind that are slightly off enough that i can't even force it into place. rather than taking it off and drilling it through with one of my bits, i'm thinking over an idea of a new one (made from layers of 3/4" pine board) that would include something to help prevent any splattered paint from entering the turret from the sides of the mantel I think Frank has some tacked and draped rubber roofing material on his (will have to look at his tank pictures along with the others that have been built so far to see how they have done theirs).
