stotto Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hey guys Thought I would post up some pics of my new fish room. My self, Mezzacam & a couple of mates put her up in 2 days and another day of putting in the insulation and ply on the outside and inside. Its not quite done yet as I need to get some insulation on the other 2 walls and roof. There is still a few bits and peices to be done and get a coat of paint on the ply, but other than that im pretty happy with the job. Im thinking about putting a whirlybird on the roof to get the air moving and to cool it as it has colourbond on the roof and the other 2 sides. What are your thoughts on that ??, am i defeating the purpose of the insulation ??. The start 1 of the walls Door goes on Complete frame Neally done Fat Bats go in Finished result (neally) Mezzacam "helping" NOT... Any ideas and coments are welcome.

Bruce Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Looks good, you guys are pretty talented putting all that together. What tanks are going in there? Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicj Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 The colour bond will definatly get hot but with the insulation on the roof it may be ok. As long as the room doesnt boil by keeping tooo much heat in. Looks like you will be up and running in no time at all. Goodluck with the room post more pics of it when you make more progress.

Josh Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Looking good. I found putting the walls up the easy bit. The fit out is much harder. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Its looking good Ben. The WhirlyBird will cause you to loose a fair amount of heat during winter but may be needed during summer. I now know what type of "car" Mezzacam got for his 18th Birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stotto Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 thanks for you comments guys. mmmm ok I might have to try make a little door or something so in the winter I can close off the Whirly Bird. Yeah putting up the walls was quite easy. The hardest thing was putting on the door Tanks at the moment will be my 4x2x2, 2x 4fts, 3ft and 2x 2fts. That still leaves me with about 5 empty tanks laying around but I would like to see the power bill befor I set up more tanks. Also most of the mentiond tanks are on seperate stands wich takes up more room. When I get my wallet back in shape im thinking about oging to get some pallet racking or long spand shelving(depending how much it can hold) and that will make the room look better and save soom floor space so I can get more tanks in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaZ Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Looks good! Line the ceiling and fill the void with insulation before you worry about whirly birds. You might not need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzacam Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ged, Yeah the new car is very nice, so many luxuries from my last model Just did a trip to coffs harbour and back... 3 weeks up, 3 weeks back... Purred like a kitten the whole way.. Anyways... I'm not much of a builder so i just rode my beast around and around and around... And when i did eventually help... Stotto put a drill into my fingers and took a lump of nice flesh off... Oh well! It has my blood mark/signature on the woodwork to show i helped. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Line the ceiling and fill the void with insulation before you worry about whirly birds. You might not need it I agree 100% with Baz. I have the same style metal flat garage roof. In summer it was 42 outside and 32 inside the fish room, I lined mine with R4 batts with fibre cement sheeting. I have no wirly bird . Other than than that it is looking good. cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
