Oh doc now see for the first time I disagree with you to me your stories aren't depressing at all they are very inspirational to myself I can get super depressed when I have some bad days and just can't tolerate the idea of not being able to take care of others I've been doing it since 4 so when my pain puts me down I feel just worthless after all of what you guys have been through makes me want to smack myself for being a cry baby lol
It can be tough to talk about because it takes me back and I remember just how awful it was. I've had kidney stones twice and it's supposed to be on par with childbirth in the pain department. My back injury was waaaaaaay worse! Probably 'cause it doesn't go away. In a split second my life changed from a really healthy, active guy to someone who couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without intense pain. And I did get depressed right afterwards. Really depressed! It's taken a long time to even realize just how profound the impact on my life has been. Now I realize just how lucky I was because I should be dead or at least crippled and I'm neither.:clap:

I know what you mean when I injured my back a few months back they never even did an xray or anything just pain meds and drive yourself 8 miles home...which I did the bf wouldn't come get me...I never let it heal I returned to work hours later and as I have said I do heavy lifting the bf was a dick said I was just wanting attention so I began to just stay in my room...before I knew it it had been 3 months of only betting out of bed to go to work and back in when home when I started getting bed sores I opened my eyes and since I have tried to maintain a more positive healthy lifestyle..this incident is why I want to smack myself my pain was nothing and I let it over take me too easy

Nobody has the right to tell you your pain was nothing. If it rendered you in that state then it was definitely something. You should've gone back to the doctor and told them to check it out a little better. Doctors can be such arrogant pricks sometimes.:cuss:

Lol well it probably doesn't surprise you since everyone who meets me can tell I'm feisty..in fact some random guy in the store the other day was hitting on me and my sis and she starts talking to him about the cats both complaining I say that's why I have a dog guy says oh yeah what kind..pit I reply his response figures your full of attitude aren't you..funny I didn't know it was so obvious and thanks doc I'm doing better I think a lot of it was depression making it worse with ex gone I haven't felt better I'm confident it will work out I'm giving in and applying for ssi they want to put me through school but thus far I refused to even apply I wasn't read and too damn proud

I was wondering why you didn't decide to go with a grow tent and save the trouble of building a box. I know building your own can save money but the ease and portability of a grow tent almost makes them worth it.

I'm not trying to convince you to buy one as I'm sure you bought all the supplies for the box and if you have any questions I can help. I remodeled and flipped houses before the economy took a shit.

Well I suppose I chose to do it for a few reasons one yes it saved me money for the supplies itself I was out just over 100 bucks...2 because I needed it big enough to accommodate my current ladies which take up lots of space...3 because I knew I could do it and wanted that sense of accomplishment..wanted to learn a new skill... This would have gone smoothly but my brother in law came over got too eager and build the frame all messed up..my dad has years in construction and he said he would teach me how to do it however he bailed on me and only helped adjust the frame...also my ex who was supposed to help but bailed as well..at this point I say screw it you guys have helped me a lot on here and I figure ill just learn as I go..and nice to see you fab

My freinds never could figure out why but I studied electronic engineering. Electrical engineering is way simpler. After you understand the various symbols on the schematic diagrams that usually come with lights and fans and stuff you'll have no problem. Talk to the guy(make a freind) at your local hardware store in the electrical department. I find these places to be very helpful.

^ electrical engineering is not as simple as you think...trust me i have my degree (then decided i didnt want to do it haha) as far as wiring up household devices, theres really no symbols...just learn the basic colors of the wires and what they do, and the wires coming from the box your wiring it to and thats it...Rene, your fan probaly has a Black, White and Green (or bare) wires coming from it..black is your power, white is the neutral, that basically takes the unused amps back to the panel, and the green or bare wire is the ground, which is there to protect you in case something goes wrong...if your outlet that you want to wire into has Black, red or Blue wire...go ahead and hook the black from your fan into that one and then white to white and green to green...if this is confusing just take some pics of what your working with and i will walk you through it
