another thing that would be good... thousands of design and colors to chose from.. high pressure lamanant, or arborite.

How would one install the high pressure laminate on walls? I can't find the installation guide.

Went with the FRP, perfect for the job and pretty easy to work with. Not too expensive either, around $350 all said and done to cover walls and ceiling in a room approximately 5' x 5'.

Big thanks to Shelley for her help!

I'll post pictures in my build thread once I finish up all the new plumbing and electrical.

No. Thank you! It was very nice to meet you and your lovely wife, I got to go for a nice little drive outside the city (my little guy even napped in the truck on the way home!), and I was generously rewardeded with frags and fuel funds.

Next time you would like assistance with something there should be a stampede to your door.

I do look forward to seeing photos when the room is done. It is interesting product that you picked up and I'd like to see how it turns out.

I could maybe be convinced to transport them . . . for frags.

(It would have to be the 8' ones, though).
