Second coat of 'sand' paint is done, so now we just wait for payday to order some stencils.

In the mean time, I'm playing with sketchup..

Today I ran a couple of network jacks to the fish room, for the apex and a pc that I will have hooked up to the microscopes.

Here's a couple more ideas for stencils (not that we'd put all of them in this place, or use these particular colors, but just for ideas..)

Just a quick question what do you do for a living cause ur computer skills are awesome

It's not me, it's sketch-up. It's *really* easy to use.

http://www.sketchup.com/

Speaking of sketch-up.. I worked out the cabinet sizes, filler strips, etc today..

On the left side, the bottom is two 30" wide, 24" deep, 35" tall cabinets- one sink base, one with drawers. These are bracketed by two ~3" filler strips which gives room for the doors to open all the way. Above is two 30" x 30" x 12" wall cabinets with filler strips. On the right is one 36" and one 33" cabinet (x 24"D x 35"T), both with drawers, and a ~3" filler strip on the right side, to allow the drawer and door to open without hitting the door knob or trim. Same with the wall cabinets.

Love the layout and stencils. It is going to be a sweet setup.

Nice Fishroom layout. I am still in "Talks" with wife about procuring the room behing my tank for a sump room. I am chipping away little by little.....lol

Get her involved in the design of the room.. that always helps. *whistles innocently*

I picked up one set of cabinets this weekend. I should be hanging the wall cabinets tomorrow evening.

Hah! That means I did a good job on the implementation

Got both the top and bottom cabinets mounted tonight. I'll set up to paint all the doors and drawers tomorrow.

Thanks!

Is it silly that I'm already trying to figure out what will go where on the counter? Hehe.

lazylivin · « **Reply #41 on:** November 13, 2012, 21:37:31 »

not silly at all, just meticulous

Wall_Tank · « **Reply #42 on:** November 13, 2012, 21:43:53 »

You can never have enough counter space.

Boonjob · « **Reply #43 on:** November 13, 2012, 22:24:01 »

You left handed?

you have some seriously hard water?

lol

looking great

Ashlar · « **Reply #44 on:** November 13, 2012, 22:33:14 »

Yup, I'm left handed, why? What gave it away? Oh, the mouse! LOL!!

Our municipal water system likes to use chloramine.. the first filter will be a chloramine buster.

So it goes (from left to right)- chloramine pre-filter, sediment, 10um carbon, 5um carbon, RO, DI.

I got the bottom cabinets' doors and drawers painted, working on the top ones..

And I found a free 3d render tool for sketch-up, hehe..

Twizted1 · « **Reply #46 on:** November 16, 2012, 19:39:44 »

That 3d tool is sweet. Now I am going to look into sketch up.

Myreef55 · « **Reply #47 on:** November 17, 2012, 11:07:04 »
