Yes I used green board because despite my best efforts I always splash a little water around. I have the ability to run the ceiling fan constantly now that I've installed a regular de-humidistat (not pictured) and there is a window right beside the tank room doorway so I should be okay in the summer. I don't remember, does NE have any active venting for their tank room?

The thing on the floor is the protective cap for the CO2 tank.

The quick part is done. I'll post some new pictures once I've finished off the area and hung the door… or pictures from the PG Tank Tour. Whichever comes first.

Yes but it was installed way too late. They are in need of someone to replace the wall, as well as put in access to the front of the tank. If your interested I'll talk to them. Your usually off this time of year are you not?

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

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.







The room is always too warm and the humidity keeps the exhaust fan running almost constantly so I decided to retrofit this fresh air intake. Its too cold outside right now to caulk the exterior portion but I'm quite pleased with how well it works.

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.







For the first time since 2007 I actually want to show off the room as well as the tank. This was its former home.
