My New Scuba Shack...

Post by Jeff Pack »

16x6ft sq of space and 220v 50a power. Made by Tuff Shed, had it hauled up to Puyallup from a ladys house in Olympia. If you ever need a shed hauled, these guys do a great job.

Next to start getting the bank bottles, nitrox, etc all plumbed in. Auto drain coming next week.

Yup insulation tomorrow at Home Depot.

These little t5 fluorescents they put in, put out some serious light.

Before you insulate give some thought to adding a vent fan to exhaust all the moist air that drying your wet gear is going to make.

Don't forget to put a vent in the wall directly behind the compressor. The more cross flow ventilation you can get, the longer your compressor will last.

Ray, I have one fan in the window to draw in outside cool air, and that big monster 3k cfm fan to blow on the compressor.

Do I really need a vent behind the compressor with that setup?

Well ... you know me ... I am kind of anal about compressors and I think the cooler the better. But, you are probably OK as is.

thats my back brace. Rather back support technically.

A few bad jumps, and pushing my body too hard and today paying the penalty for all that fun in my youth.

I'm jealous! Apartment living has some drawbacks - namely where to store all the scuba gear.
