Nice.

Looks great..man I really like the added storage...Here are some images of the rig I built. My main goal was to have on board storage and as much as possible in one place. After many many hours of research on this forum, and others, this is the final result.
What you don't see in the images below are the two 6 foot folding tables that clip on to the sides of the rig. With this setup I roll this baby out of the garage, hook up a water hose, run a cord to power up the pumps, and light the burners. I can be heating strike water inside 15 minutes.
Full View of rig. The surfaces on the right side fold down to shorten the overall length.
The tall end has a Storage Locker. The Bus tubs are used for storage but get pulled out and become sinks for cleaning and sanitizing.
I decided to go with two pumps, even though my HLT is up high.
I tucked a spare outlet and the water filter under the top.
With the water manifold I run one hose to the house and then attach additional hoses. One goes over to a table with my sink setup.
I'm using 1/4 turn gas valves now but plan on going to needle valves for greater control. I put my pump switches in an easy to reach location.
My version of the Hop Spider.
Your pics are upside down.
Welderbyday - looks awesome! What size are the two large kettles? Are they Concord brand?

Nice, has that TP-Link wireless bridge worked well for you? I have the netgear bridge and it loses connection from inside the box during brews, really annoying. I have to leave the door open on the box during brewing, which kinda defeats the purpose of buying a NEMA enclosure. If that TP-Link bridge works with the box closed, I'm gonna get one.

Used it for the first time yesterday. I think the thermometer in the mash is too low. It made 10 gallons of beer anyhow. I added a cover for the pump motor as suggested by another member.
