Slow Progress Sorry for the lack of posts, been trying to keep up a full time job in the middle of all this and it's starting to crunch me. So we're about 2 weeks behind schedule which sucks. But everything is shaping up nicely. End of last week we finished up final sealing details, like...

Frames No help yesterday, so I made the frames for the scrog screen and lighting rig. The scrog screen is made out of extra 1x2 and 2x2 I had. I was going to do 2x2 redwood for lightness, but just decided to use what we had around. For the legs, I will be using the legs from aluminum crutches...

Finishing Up The Insulation Not much to report from yesterday. We finished up insulating the doors, which were very tricky. Filled up the windows cavities with some 1" EPS and mostly got a good tight seal everywhere. The doors are a little sticky from the friction of the tight foam, but we're...

;) Hard work and preparation pay off.

I think so. Especially since the earth likes to shake around these parts. The one on the house is protecting the shed, like you say. Plenty Me too! Looks like we're about a week late to get started, but .... SOON!

Insulation Insulation is mostly up now. First we finished sealing all the gaps and seams, than then put Orca film over the windows and vents. The cavity behind them is filled with foam spray Then we put up all the rigid EPS, which had been cut the day before. The EPS is glued and screwed...

Thanks for the input. Stadium grow is way beyond my skill level right now.

Thanks. All credit for this puppy goes to other people. 100% of what I know about grow room design comes from you and other people on this board and the LED board and my local hydro store. About half of the shed construction design (and 90% of the tools) comes from my buddies who are helping...

Short Day Not much to show, we were cutting insulation to size most of the day, and got to installing at the end. In this picture, you can also see the oval-shaped hole for the AC exhaust vent in the back corner.

Thanks. Lemme get a few good crops in before I go totally haywire ;) I've been looking at stadium threads again, it's really pretty amazing

Thanks for the suggestion. I did look into that originally and settled on scrog. One of my biggest issues is vertical space. The wall are 6' high and then the roof starts angling in, limiting what I can do. The other thing is that I'm a big fan of LEDs generally, and I don't think you can use...

Sorry no post yesterday. Had to work all night. Yesterday and today started with running electric into the shed. If you recall, we ran 2 20A lines under the hose to a j-box next to the shed, where we put in an exterior GFI outlet (just because why not), and then ran PVC conduit underground...

How is that working out for you? That's right about my setup.

Thanks I'm going to look into that. What size unit and room do you have?

Rained Out We were rained out today, so we spent the time planning out the shelving, AC exhaust, insulation and some other mods. Nothing to show. So, a word about the layout. Space is tight, inside and out, so I have to be careful. Here is the layout: The floor is beige, the appliances...

Electric Maths Yesterday turned into a short day, as we all wound up with stuff to do in the afternoon. In the morning we got the exterior GFI outlet and j-box hooked up, ran conduit and wire into the shed for the dual outlets, put in the tray stand and started taking measurements for all the...

Finally, Something Shed-Like Got the walls and the roof up today. In the first picture you can see the mostly complete shed from the front. We also attached some scrap 2x6 to the fence on the left so we have support for the canopy, which is going to be a TIGHT fit. More on that later. The...

Holes We spent a ridiculous amount of time on holes today. Seriously. First we did all the pre-assembly of the different panels and steel reinforcement. You can see some of this in this photo. Once we unpacked and examined everything, we realized the lights will easily hang from this...

Floored Today we god the foundation insulated and finished and started on the floor, which will require some mods. The 1st photo shows the frame of the foundation without the plywood on. The floor of the shed is screwed into those 3 cross-beams in the corners. Though we modified it to make it...

It's a fun and expensive hooby this...
