The worst part about building this room is that it's very
distracting. I find myself wanting to work on the room and not my
actual work. I keep drifting off to "hmm, how can I do this or that."
About the materials - We've had to make almost everything from
scratch. We molded the rivets and cut out the window bracing
and "metal" stips from hardboard. We've turned our little warehouse
into a Nautilus production facility. Kind of a mini Vulcania. Other
materials resulted from creative application of things meant for
other usages. For example, we've used floor drains for wall vents
and wall lights for ceiling lights. Also, I scoured EBay looking for
antique brass guages. The only thing we've had to have custom made
is the Grand Salon Window. We went to a skylight company and had it
made to our specs. We'll show pictures of that in future photos.
