I actually was considering making a hollow "rock" that would fit over the door knob to hide it, but after getting the wall done and just painting the knob with matching colors it all but disappears...

Well the past week was spent doing some work as well as upnorth fishing so just got a few hours this evening to get back on the office build. Tonight I installed the prehung door which I had to do...

Well there is still a lot more to do such as - Pre-hung door built into the aquarium wall covered with 3D rocks so the door is not noticeable, wood threshold strip between the two rooms, finishing...

Thanks Charlaine. I will be stocking the tank with Peacock and Hap cichlids. The hap species will get to 10-16" on some of them. I actually did consider putting trout in it, but after some research...

Been working tonight on adding detail to the rock wall now. In the words of Axle Rose....Welcome to the jungle!

Thanks Warren.

Starting to install the ceiling now. You'll notice I changed the stain color, the first one was a bit too redish for me. I like the cabin/lodge/rustic look of this one now.

Been trying to juggle rod orders and office build along with yard work and other things, could use about 10 more hours in each day it seems, but have got some more done on the office/tank this week....

I made this for the new office build and thought you guys might enjoy seeing it. Last week while at my cabin on a fishing trip I was picking up some of the downed trees and limbs that came down over...

Not much done, but now that I'm back from fishing I did work a bit on the lower part of the wall tonight.

Manged to get the 3 rods I needed to get done finished over the weekend so that left me with pretty much the entire day to work on the office. Put another 12 hours straight in to it and got some good...

Well got some major progress done today now. I'm dead tired from working on it all day long today. Probably won't get much more progress done now for a few days because I have about 4 rods to build...

Drain cover is now done. Added lower trim wood to it and a urethane finish to all the wood surfaces to give it a nice clear coat shine. The trout boarder came in earlier than expected so started...

Still have some trim work to do at the bottom but here is the rock/wood pillar I built to hide the drain pipe.

Doesn't look like much yet but have faith it will get there. Just started the first coats of paint on the walls yesterday. The upper and lower colors will be split with a 9" tall border I just...

Been working on this project a bit now. Here's a couple pics before and then to the point I am at now today. Ended up scraping the floor to get all the nastiness off of it so I could lay the new...

Thought you guys might like to see what the latest project I have been working on is.

For about 3-4 years now I have wanted to build onto my basement shop by making and office one the other side...
