Well, it's been a while for my updates. Bad news is I think I have the plague :(
Good news is it gives me a bit of time to actually work on this build.

I finally finished all my framing, most of the insulation, all the electrical rough in and plumbing rough in.
Next step I guess is to finish the insulation in the ceiling, vapour barrier everything off and start drywalling. Here's some pics I took this aft after finishing the plumbing rough-in.

looking good there DAP well done i love seeing the insulation going up its a job relieve lol

Looking good daplatapus! Are you planning regular drywall or the mold resistant kind?

I'm pretty sick as well, but I think mine is the Ebola. :crutch:

Thanks guys!
When I renovated my house, my buddy who drywalled my place used some weird drywall I'd never seen before in my bathroom. I had asked for blue board (the regular mould resistant stuff) and he had recommended this other type of drywall. I had just moved here from Alberta so I figured it was just some odd stuff they used down here and said, "Ya, whatever". It seems a bit harder than drywall, and almost felt like it had a grey, plasticky layer on the face side of it. And it has just the hair of a texture to it, so it's not flat and smooth like regular drywall. Anyway, this stuff is amazing around water.
I was thinking of using the same material. Although, it's probably overkill. I have a used HRV I plan on installing to vent the room and the hood above the tank. I also will be using the best bathroom primer and paint I can find and I have a few Marlite FRP panels (left over from jobs) I plan on installing around the sump and sink to protect those area's.

Well, minor progress. Got the room all drywalled, taped and painted. Gonna finish some electrical today, and maybe start the bench for the sump.

lets go fella I have been waiting to see this upgrade mister :P

Are we gonna see some water in a tank one day?? :)

Haha, not as much as I :) Work has just been killer busy this year. Time has been hard to come by.


Geez, I sure hope so.

Looks great daplatapus, so fresh and clean!

Thanks man, I hope I can keep it that way, lol.

More progress. I got all my hard wired electrical done. Anything within 6' of the sump is GFI'd. Split some of my plugs and switched them so I can turn stuff on and off easy like my return pumps, skimmer, Ca reactor, RO/DI booster and SW mixing station.
The sink is going to be replaced with something else. I may have a line on a used S.S. commercial sink/wash tray, so hopefully that'll pan out without breaking the bank. The 2" ABS drain line you see on the floor is actually going to my existing sump for when I do water changes. That'll eventually be run from the new sump and tight to the wall behind the SW and Fresh water tanks.
