Building the Man Room/Fish Room

[henry hill]

Okay guys Im gonna need some major help here on this one. I think the wife is giving the okay to throw one up in our basement.

I've done just about every repair know to man on a house. But I have never framed up walls, or hung a door. Some sheet rock work but not like this.

So I'm looking for every bit of advice you might have, from materials, tips, tricks, and gadgets to boot.

It's gonna be super simple, no demo involved. With exception of ceiling tiles and one pine wall with door. Two walls, completing a utility room.

Im picturing one long bench/table/stand across the long wall, with tables underneath for storage and sumps and things. Opposing wall 'Tool Ville'. Super clean, no wires, no mess's. Controllers, computers, TVs and fridges. I'll have a counter top and a Stainless sink after I do the kitchen to add in the room for coral and fish acclimations and fragging of course with general clean up.

I'll get pictures up here soon to give you and idea.

First major question I have is do you think it can be done in one 8 hour day?????
Frame, sheet rock and electrical only with door.

Stands and inner transformation later.
