LOL! Ok, I've moved the trailer to a more accessible spot today. Had to load up all the tools and materials, so the trailer is a mess right now. I hope to have lights hung and lots of ducting done by the end of this week and plan to work only on it Tuesday - Friday with 1/2 day tomorrow, so I'll provide a real update soon :-)

I did not work on it all week, and my hand is good to go.

As I was moving the trailer I saw a small utility trailer with an A/C on it. I was laughing the rest of the way. Why does a small utility trailer need an A/C? :hump:
 
Holy shit @ prices for that watercooledgardens.com. They want $175 for a blue 55 gallon reservoir. LOL!!! I hope they DID give you a HUGE discount!
 
OK. For those of you who like to side talk, go away!

Yes, I think watercooleddardens*com is a good place because they are experts in water cooling and have helped me setup a room you all can lean about in a seperate journal. They do give package deals and yes, you can find cheaper stuff, good for you. Now go away!

Here is the updates...

Yesterday I finally got a little work done. There is a lot of insulation in this trailer now. 2" foam insulation was used and it works VERY well. As I was cutting the pieces for the roof, you can FEEL the heat coming from the areas that were not yet insulated. I feel confident this insulation will help with heat / cold as well as reduce the noise level!

So pics from yesterday, This is what I showed up to:

Today, was a little more productive. I've yet to put in a full days work with lots of time being wasted to and from the hardware store. You'll notice the insulation is not yet glued to the roof, I've cut some braces in order to hold them in place until the glue does it's job.

This will give you an idea of how much insulation was used as well as the layout. We laid out all the options we had drawn up on google sketchup and it was simply the best feel. Those are not the sized pots to be used!

Lot's of styrofoam safe liquid nail as well as silicone which will be used to seal up the overlap in pandafilm in order to keep a sealed environment. You can also see the attic in this pic. It was a pain, but worth it. Heat was crazy... felt like an open oven when you got close to it!
