Wow, that was fast! It looks great. Can't tell from the pic, did you electrify it?

Thanks Kray .. I did electrify it. I am trying to locate one of those "fire bulbs" that would be bright enough to throw out a little light as well as looking more true to the flames the lamp would have originally had. I still have to bury the conduit.

Thank you! The hardest part was trying to figure out how to get the bulb socket in there as rotted as the tank was. Thank goodness for coffee cans! :coffee2:
