It’s where he will be banished to

I am just amazed that you are able to build this. Remind me, what is the shed about? Is it an outdoor fish tank room?

Yes. Just a fish room / office. Dunno. Thought it would be cool and fun. I haven’t built anything by myself for a while. I’ve always been doing collaborations with my brother and business partners.

Funny. You know Asians don’t like people going upstairs. It’s one of the reasons why I built it. As a matter of fact. I don’t like people knowing where I live. Lol.

Great work !! Like the trim around the vents and overhang over the door..!! Is that metal flashing along the fascia nice job…
Wondering did you order a custom metal cill pan under the slider Or use the plastic adjustable ones? I used the plastic adjustable ones on a pair of sliders a few years ago which are holding up fine so far.. Bet you went through several tubes of caulking !

Yeah. When you put two seams together you’re supposed to put in a Z flashing for water drainage. As for the sliding glass door, I didn’t put anything special under it except the house wrap and window sealer tape.
Daymn you calling me out on the calk. Lol. Dude. I must have bought over 12 tubes. This shed is basically siliconed together. Lol.

Will loves the caulk

Hides everything.

Had some Rockwool left over from one of my previous projects. Bought 10 rolls of insulation and still ended up just a little short. Story of my life. On Wells. Off to HD today to get the sheet rock. Getting close.
Btw. It held up great during the past storm. Zero leaks. That part I was extremely lucky.

It’s all that caulk!

It’s all that caulk!

Sounds like someones a bit envious!

I go through plenty of caulk. Nothing to be jealous about

Rock up. Now for the dirty.

Let’s catch up a little bit. Life has gotten in the way with the holidays and family. I hate mudding. It’s just like bodywork on cars. Gotta be a sculptor. Spent 5 days mudding. I suck at it.

 

[Kensington Reefer]

Daaammmn!!

 

[ReyDeFarts]

Looks great to me! Have fun and enjoy the process bud.

Well. Calling it finished for now. There’s still a few odds and ends left. I’m ready to move forward with the aquarium install over the next few months. Dunno if you guys want to see that or not.
Rolf has gifted me with Bennett’s aquarium. He is so generous. He’s really good to me. Here’s my question. Should I connect my 320 to Rolf’s 125 with a dual external sump. Meaning the sump is not under the stand. Or run them separately with each one independently. One is going to be a sps and stuff. The other is going to be angels and butterflies and whatever else corals that they don’t eat. Oops. Forgot the pictures.

Plan to heat and cool the shed with the mini split running constantly.

Looks great, is that lament flooring?

If so that's what I'm planning to try to put down in my living room. I Would appreciate a few tips if and when you have time.

Nice work man!

Dunno if you guys want to see that or not.

I do for sure.
