[solabeirtan]

Care to elaborate, guys? not helpfull ? too helpfull ? personal reasons ? security reasons ? design reasons ?

 

This particular thread was meant to be a collaborative effort to help each other / showcase some of  talent / resources available in the community. 

[pergamum362]

No its a great thread for that, very proffesional, i wouldnt mind you running that auto cad for me when i buy my house, lol just in private. Security, Id have a hard time sleeping once its all up and running knowing that hundreds of people have seen it.

[pergamum362]

Im envious of sho's basement for sure. Lol

[pergamum362]

Sho, you must have bowling balls for nuts man. Lol

[sho]

This has been an awesome adventure esp. since I can sit back, watch, learn and am not

putting in the labor and cost.

Kudo's to you sho. I too am envious of your basement.

Sweet paint. Always great to get a heads up on products, imo.

 

sola, that auto cad is the cat's pj's, very cool.

 

 

Oh, pit bulls and a swamp lmbo!

Just the other side of the lake, right?

[sho]

Yep, just hit Lake Michigan and keep going till you get to trees and swamp. I won't be far away lol

[Zerocool]

did not see a d headers for doors and why did you use 1x4 for top heads could have used 2x4 frames you snug them in by pounding the bottem in just would have saved you some coin

[solabeirtan]

Many ways to dress a deer .... thanks for the tip nevertheless Zerocool.

You mean like wedging them tight floor to ceiling, I'm assuming ?

 yep so no space and was seeing no d hearders would have saved on cost for sure

[sho]

I'm lost? Interior doors no real need for a header... Not bearing any weight.

[sho]

moar...

 

 

I've still got lots of corner to tape around the ceiling... but I called it quits at about 9:30 and got drunk on Absolut Hibiscus... freakin' awesome vodka, BTW.

[pergamum362]

Nice work....getn that absolute down...haha j/k. Looks good. If you dont mind what was the ticket on ur cooling system? Mini split right?

[sho]

Mini split, I was quoted $3900 for only the units for the rooms and the condenser.

 

Plugging along... U.P. State Fair was going on this weekend and lots of other stuff... haven't had the time to finish that I need... 3 kids make it very hard!

I hate sanding drywall mud.

[imiubu]

I hate sanding drywall mud.

Use a damp sponge. Not a 'real' sponge, one of the large fake flat ones.  Rinse often.  No dust, clean up easy

[sho]

Sanded and first coat of primer last night... trying to get a paint sprayer right now

 

[Celliach]

I didn't finish the walls off to my room like you did.  No tape, no mudding.  I figured the plants didn't really care what the walls looked like and I'm never going to use the room for anything else.  Of course, I'm inherently lazy.

I want to get some spray foam kits. The drywall ultimately sealed up the room for the CO2... and nice flat white walls make for great photos in flower!

 

I make more work for myself, most of the time... I like staying busy. Once this is done, it's onto the rest of the basement... then kitchen floor, then kids rooms. Then new windows, siding, vinyl fence... haha

[sho]

How I was originally going to run conduit, then it was a making whoopee PAIN IN THE GOD darn donkey AND I CAN'T BEND CONDUIT TO SAVE MY LIFE. So I decided just to surface mount 2 boxes on the wall and run from that, drilling a hole through the drywall on the back to add wire clamps.

 

The rest is pretty straight forward, only got the veg area wired up so I could move plants out of another area of the basement into the locked room.

 

Veg light on, I'm ordering a 36x72" Wire rack made for foodservice (shelving for freezers/restaurants). Something just like this: http://www.amazon.com/Nexel-Chrome-Extra-Wide-Shelves/dp/images/B007386SD0

 

Probably going to "add-a-shelf" that's 24x36 to make a big L that comes down the wall past the conduit and electrical. It'll give me a little room for working and keeping a seedling tray or something on a heated mat, plus more storage.

 

My light will hang from the top rack, plants in the middle, and maybe 20" on the bottom for storage/seedlings/cloning

 

 

 

:thank you:

 

More to come, I'll be adding doors, trim, cleaning floors again, getting "everything" spotless clean... then I'll be going onto the drying closet, wiring all the ballasts and flower lights, so don't stop reading yet! :biggrin:
