Fishroom got it's first coat tonight! I also now have some cool-looking white highlights in my hair that for now seem sorta permanent lol.
First a peek at my rad new mixing station. Wife can't wait to see this gone lemme tell ya. http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/kilz1.jpg This stuff is the bomb. http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/kilz2.jpg You can see where I applied silicone to all the cracks and knotholes in the plywood ceiling. Those are all the spots the paint doesn't really want to stick to. http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/kilz3.jpg To paint my water-change nook I removed the blue drum and tossed it temporarily on the laundry tub. Sorta forgot the tap works now and it started working all right! Too bad the drain is not connected. You can sorta tell the floor is wet. Officially my first mini flood! http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/kilz4.jpg Outside lookin' in... http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/kilz5.jpg |
T12s in the fishroom Brett????........how disappointing....:mrgreen:.......Im really just jealous that you have a fish room......looks good mang
|
T8s Doug come on! Trust me that is by far the brightest room in my place now.

I am jealous as well, I would love a fish room & so would my wife. At least I have her down for a small tank in the kitchen when we do the remodel.
Looks nice & WHITE but there's no room for a pool table......or even a couch for that matter. |

I've already got a tank in the kitchen as you can see... fishroom was the next logical step i guess haha.
A couch is going where I took the last picture from. When that jackpost is out there's actually a decent amount of room out front for viewing but yeah no chance at a billiards table. I might move my other white leath 3-seater from the other basement room into that spot if it still fits through the doorways I put in :lol: This basement is a shoebox but it's MY shoebox! |

You can see where the other couch is in shoebox 2 on the right. It may be stuck in there now. Hopefully using all 32" doors will give me enough play if I decide I want it in front of the tank.

this is looking awesome. never surrender never give up. keep taking pictures. love everything about this. one day i want a fish room like this.:biggrin:
|
Thanks for the damnings and compliments =) I want a fishroom someday too which is why I *really* need more free time to devote to this thing!

Thanks to Brad (Abcha0s) for suggesting this 100% epoxy floor coating. It's called Enviropoxy (from IPP here in Calgary) and I have done the first coat. I'll be doing a second coat so all the higher spots in my floor become smooth as well. Hard as a rock and not slippery when wet either. Love this stuff but the prep-work for the floor was brutal.
http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro1.jpg http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro2.jpg The stand is done except for the doors now. The scribing process was pretty painstaking but I'm really happy with the end result. I have to go back and carefully touch up the paint in a few grooves still... http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro3.jpg http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro4.jpg My helper playing in the 'secret tunnel'... http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro5.jpg Not a very flattering shot as the harsh lights down here right now show a few seams. You can just make out something in the groove for the left vertical line. On this panel as luck would have it I hit ALL FOUR screws that were used to mount the panel originally. I didn't want to try and move them and screw things up but nobody but me will notice I think. http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro6.jpg http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro7.jpg http://www.fishbrains.net/images/404/enviro8.jpg |
Im impressed mang.........for doing that with a knife, it looks preety dang good.....well done........and theres always a screw or nail where it shouldnt be:wink:.......the floor looks killer too
|
The grooves look awesome!
|
Its really coming along. Looks so good already, can't wait to see it filled
|
Wow, the scribing cuts looks really good. Great choice going with those. Looks like you have your first livestock in the tank as well, that spider looks happily content until he's flooded.
|
I hate you HATE YOU HATE YOU:lol:
|
Damn nice job on the line scribing Brett, that looks AWESOME!!
