Trade Frags for Help with fish room

[Ah64av8tor]

Hey folks,

I just got back from Lowes and got every thing except flooring to finish the fish room.

I have the electrician coming to add the 2 20 amp circuits.

I'm looking for help ruffing in, hanging and finish drywall and painting.

I hope to have it all finished this week end.

Even if you are DIY challenged you can lift and hold stuff. I need help moving the stand for the 150 out of the room.

Ill have Pizza and beer and even toss in a few frags.

The demo starts tonight!

Greg, I still have plans to help. I might be able to help Friday afternoon, but definitely Saturday.

 

[Ah64av8tor]

cool, I have got to get er done so I can set the 150 up.


The pump is dieing on the 65 and I don't want to have to replace it when I have everything to get the 150 running.

Ryan,

I live in Bayshore Gardens by the Target.

I can use all the help I can get

First I would like to thank Bruce (Brucem) and Mike (lookout888) for all the help and great ideas.

The electrician put in 2 20 amp circuits with an outlet on the porch for the chiller, and switch for the can lights in an existing block wall.

We got the old ceiling torn out can lights installed insulation and furring strips installed.

Mike said as long as the ceiling was out that I should install an exhaust fan. I could not resist even though it was not in my budget.

The work continues drywall goes up tomorrow.

Yesterday we got the drywall hung. Thanks Stephen (boydx6) and Nate (natec) for all the help and I hope you are not as soar as I am.

After Stephen and Nate left I decided to start on the Tape and mud. I got all the walls finished but couldn't raise my hands over my head long enough to do any real work on the ceiling, it was 12:30 so I just took a shower and went to bed.

This morning I was up early for work and the house was a wreck, drywall dust everywhere, I took a pick of last nights progress and headed out to get a sheet of drop cloth before I started sanding.

I didn't get any picks of the dust cloud but will snap one in the morning.

O2, it has only been through the help of some great guys.

Congrats on the 90.......I hope to have the 65 up for sale in a month, it has a like new ER 5-2 skimmer, if you still need one then.

 

[Ah64av8tor]

I sanded all the joints and added another coat of mud and sanded again, textured the walls and ceiling. Tomorrow Ill clean up the mess and through on a few coats of paint and finish the electric.
