I'm still working steady, probably until the end of February. Plus I've got my own walls to complete.

Coming along very nicely
Keep the pics comin' |
Done for the moment. I used the same paint as the previous owner to finish off the walls and trim of the room but I think we'll be changing the colour scheme later. On the inside the walls are also insulated with Roxul so its very quiet in front of the tank for the first time in nearly a decade. The camera doesn't want to show that the trim around the tank is actually oak stained dark red so here is a closeup.

Its too cold outside right now to caulk the exterior portion but I'm quite pleased with how well it works. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...pscf78765e.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...ps73cb503b.jpg |
Good Job

Here are two more pictures to show the tank room insulation. I've also repainted the trim and replaced the curtains for a new colour scheme. That blue was driving me nuts.

This was its former home. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...Picture183.jpg |
That's a room I'd be proud of :smile:
Where'd you get the posters ? Magazines ? |
The posters came from Ottawa Inverts but they are no longer a retailer. Its the Illustrated Guide set by Anthony Calfo and Robert Fenner. Marine Depot says they've been discontinued so I guess they're a collectors item now.

I love it!
|
looks really good Russell, are you gonna put up anything like poly on the inside of the room or keep the insulation bare?
