It’s time to float drywall, baby!

Hurricane season already?

Yup we might get flooding lol... drywall floating down the street.

Yeah hopefully the insurance company doesn’t find out Cody worked on the breaker box

great progress so far…

i warned him about that, the key is to let the house burn all the way to the ground so maybe they don't notice.

 

[Cody]

So not much update. I didn’t finish driving in all the screws until today, plus I finished the drywall around the window and the two holes for window units. I’m 100% ready to float now.

Where the pool?

 

[Cody]

I’m gonna make the room water tight and just fill it up, Rick.

Just an update.

Years ago when I first started building my original fish room, I was asking for advice when it came to drywall work. The best advice on how to do it was to go to your bedroom, get the checkbook out of a drawer, and pay someone to do it. A fellow member of MARSH and I hung it, but I ended up paying someone to float it.

 

[Cody]

They ended up doing a pretty good job, but I have unrealistic expectations, so I had to go back and touch it up.

 

[Cody]

Finally through on the Mold and Mildew Killz primer. This stuff is now $40 PER GALLON. I think I'm technically poor now.

 

[Cody]

Also, as I mentioned in the other thread about RO units and when to change the DI resin, I'm redoing my current RO system to be nicer.

@Seaworthy Aquatics you can follow my RO design and build here if you need an idea of what I’m doing for mine as you plan yours.

if you really wanna be slick, connect a hydros controller and add a tds meter and solenoid to cut off the water when it hits too high of a tds. You can also have it notify you.

Of all of this I just got - Cody’s checkbook is in his bedroom in one of his drawers.

If my TDS meter gets too high then it needs to alert my wife, because something's happened to me. I eye that stuff like a hawk.

Jokes on you. I had my bedroom plastered with drawers and secret doors that go to nowhere.

FYI: I'm an heir to the Winchester family. Anyone get that reference?!

Indeed - that's the woman who kept adding on to her house constantly until her death. I hate to tell you, but your property isn't big enough for that, unless you build a new floor every year until the FAA shuts you down.

Who said that's not the plan?!
