    Default New Fishroom on the Northern Plains

    Well, I've sold our pirate ship, so I'll be able to construct a new fishroom later this fall...A little early, but I'll post photo's all along the way....Gary

    Love the fish room threads. With your knowledge were expecting something spectacular. Congrats on the sale of the ship.

    Congrats Gary on selling the ship. I'm pretty sure it is bitter sweet and you will miss her. The fishroom should ease the transition to a landlubber I hope.

    Congrats Gary! I guess I won't be seeing you sailing it into Beaufort then...
    Good luck with your fishroom, bet it will be really super.

    Thanks gang...just starting to crunch numbers on concrete, windows,etc....And, of course, I still have to manage the downrigging/uprigging of the ship to finish off the sale...That'll be in Portland, OR in mid Sept...

    I figuered I should shoot a 'before' photo of where we'll be constructing the new fishroom next month.....Here's a photo today



    The exsisting wall with the ladder against it (from taking roof measurements, it's getting replaced first!) is east, the one with plastic over the double door is north. Those walls stay...west wall will continue out from edge of greenhouse addition, and south wall will extend almost to the east garage wall...Room will be a retangle with a return leg (L-shaped; the reject barrel and tote are in the 'L')...Main room is 16'X20', with the 'L' being another 8'X15'....That's a new 440 sq. ft. of tank space.....

    Hey Gary,cant help myself.Those tarps on the roof?We can't go on a roof if tarped.When I see the Simpson's opening,all I can see is where I'd put the ladder,how'd I 'd back in,and where'd we would put the shingles.Metal roof to the back?Sounding like a stalker.
