On the ceiling are you just using the stained planks or did you add insulation before installing them

I didn't add any insulation Rich. The basement is heated so it is always close to the same temp as the upstairs within a couple degrees give or take.

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 lots of trimming and fitting but finally got it fit nicely now. And also started covering it with foam which I will start shaping/carving tomorrow so that once it is done then it will blend right in with the rock wall so you won't even know there is a door or room behind the wall (James Bond kinda stuff lol)

The desk facing into the tank was a great idea. I didn't see that one coming.

Also did the pole at the bottom of the stairs to match the rock wall...



Still some more work to do but getting close to being done now with the room and close to being ready to start in the tank on the tanks background.

Looking great.  Pretty soon you can start the tank up.  Did you decide to go with cichlids or native fish?

Hey Rich, I bet you and I could set up our basements like that...if we stopped spending all our time shuffling fish and tanks around.  Wait, who am I kidding.  I'm not that motivated.  Great work though, Steve.
