    LOL - That hatch reminds me of a washing machine.

      Yes, looks like a commercial dryer.

    Drywall, Hank, get away from those engine fumes. Drywall and moisture are definitely not friends.

      I agree, but what moisture? it will be dry as a bone in there.

      ​@@HankPronkDear Hank, I do not agree with you. It will be until you'd start using it. You exhale moisture, wet boots, water drops from outside hatch, all of this will soon make the inside damp. Some part of water will be absorbed by CO2 absorber. But the problem with humidity would rather persist. I have read about high humidity and mold inside big subs. So strong, that sailors keep bread inside cans with small additions of alcohol. I consider it urban legend as the only sub I saw was in the museum. But my car floor lining gets very humid in winter in spite of me using rubber carpets to prevent water from boots dropping everywhere. I think the reason is condensation on colder parts.

      @@ІгорАлієв There will be some humidity, but air flow is the key. Drywall has great sound proofing qualities, so it's worth trying Your bathroom has a lot of humidity and is drywalled. I think as long as it is painted, it might work just fine. If not, it's no big deal to replace it annually or try something else.

    Hank, will there be a way to fireproof the drywall in the event of failure? It would be prudent to limit any potential cascading failures early, there is already now limited access to the compartment, best not have to deal with the whole wall acting as fuel. Otherwise this project is moving along at an incredible pace and I am thoroughly impressed!

      Thank you, drywall is fire proof I believe.

      You are correct, I have never seen the stuff in person before and had made assumptions based on consistency/usage. Carry on!
      This is shaping up to be a really cool project. Do you have any expectations on its performance?
