PM (permalink) 0 I was able to get some more work done tonight.  Had to move and rehang the fan since the I found that I couldn't make vent the fan out simply at the location that I had originally chosen.  Here some pics of today progress.   Hole cut in the outside of the barn and the vent installed.     Fan rehung and duct work installed.  I will do a little cleanup on the connections between the fan and the ductwork.     #62 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined: 12/15/2008 Location: Auburn Hills, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium

and got a new panel installed with GFCI breakers.      and ran the start of three circuits   I also bought 14 sheets of drywall today to start putting up drywall   and was able to get 4 sheets up today         #63 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI)

the breeding barn this weekend.  First of all, the garage door is no longer operational.  I wanted to keep in place so that the barn could be turned back into a garage, if I ever decided to not use the room for fish.  I basically made a face wall the I can take out with basically undoing 10 screws.  Here is a pic of it with the insulation installed.     Other than building the wall, I spend the rest of my free time putting the drywall up.  I still have a little bit to go.  I am guess 4-5 more pieces but have gotten through a lot it.  I took pics of all 4 wall so that you get an idea of where things are at.   North wall (The wall where the garage door is)   South wall   East wall   West wall   #66 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined: 12/15/2008 Location: Auburn

got the stairway framed out and ready so now I just have to put up the last couple of pieces of drywall.  Here are pics of the framing     This door was here with the house, kind of a POS, so this is good place to use it.     #67 Barelycuda Total Posts : 186 Scores: 2 Reward points : 829 Joined: 3/20/2010 Location: Vancouver, WA, US Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:The

June 5, 2012 8:09 PM (permalink) 0 I haven't updated this in awhile.  There has been a lot going on both and the barn and otherwise.   Let's start with barn. ...  The drywall has been mudded and sanded and 95% of the trim has been installed.  I will take some pics once the dust settles from tonight's sanding.    Now on the other stuff . ..  which has a direct effect on the short term scope of this project.  In middle of May our rental house had the sewer back up which led to an expensive clean up bill that wasn't covered by insurance .... after the back and clean up our rental walked away from her lease stating that the house wasn't in liveable condition (which is BS) and called the city.  The city inspected the house and found other issues with the house that need to be repaired as well (most minor but a couple a little more extensive.  All of that being said we now have no renter for the time being and a rather hefty repair bill on the house.  So for now the fish barn is going to be kind a bare bones operation.  Only operating what needs to be set up and not running many extras   I will say going out there to work on the barn has been kind of therapeutic in order to get my mind of the house issue and its after effects like going to MACNA which I was looking forward to.    I was looking for sympathy or anything like that but I did want to say something so when the initial completed project doesn't appear that I what I started with you all would know why.    #70 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon,

your troubles.  I'm glad you have a happy place to go though.  Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]   #71 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined: 12/15/2008 Location:

MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:The "Breeding Barn Build" Sunday, June 10, 2012 8:05 PM (permalink) 0 Finally got the first coat of paint on.  I will have to say that the Behr Paint with the primer coats very well.  Below is the barn with the first coat.      #73 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2909 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford,

blue room in my old house, kind of wanted to emmulate that.  Blue doesn't fit with the overall decor in the main house     #75 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined:

Finally got all of the painting done.  I can that most of the construction aspects of this are done.  I just have to finish the electrical after I know where all the tanks are going.  I am excited to finally be doing some fish stuff out there.     Here is a current pics of the barn all painted     For perspective the same shot when the barn was started.       #76 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores:
