Today I installed the strips of wood on top of the I-beams. Now they look like I-beams !!! You can see how I had to prop up the strips with pieces of wood while the glue dried. While the glue dried I painted the window gold. I also installed the fan that I made out of a brass lamp.  Thank you so much to those who said I should install the strips. The I-beams look great !! I weathered the I-beams to look like rusty red steel. Taking pictures is difficult. When I use the flash it makes the orange look too bright. They look good in subdued light. It's going to be interesting when I install lights in the room. Here are some pictures with and without the camera flash. NO FLASH  WITH FLASH    I-beams are finished !!!    |

Rope lighting placed inside PVC pipes with at least 1/3 of the pipe cut away
( mounted cut side up )
Or a single tube fluorescent fixture laid in the pipe ( might give more light.... )
I was about to suggest something very much along those lines. |

If that is the cord for the fan I see I think you need to install some conduit for it instead of just letting it hang.... |

It's difficult to take pictures of the whole room in one frame. But I will try and get some better overall pictures after the electrical is done. |

How about a short video as you pan around the room?

I saw this and I immediately thought of your room. Can I come and visit? The rust and the corrosion is killing me – I must clean it up!  |

Did you just go PSSSSSSST at me or have I just sprung a leak?
I'm not retreating, I'm advancing in another direction.

Those I-beams look...well...like I-beams, Capt. Corroded, filthy I-beams. I mean that in the best way possible. You are doing fantastic work. Thanks for letting us spy on it. You could buy a lot of gew-gaws for your workshop if you charged for tours!  |

You know, I do this sort of thing, on occasion, for a living, and I must admit that I am highly impressed, maybe even a little jealous! Might have to come and visit myself... |

How you make those beams look so convincingly rusty is beyond me...watching this whole project unfold is amazing.
