Also today got the plex for the water line half done. 24 inch trench with a 3 inch sand bed and a 3 inch sand backfill. To prevent the pipe from rubbing on rocks when the water turns off and on over and over. Also ran an electric heat tape 1 foot down and I to the building. It get very very cold here even tho I am in Arizona.

No growing up there. It's the lungs of my ventilation system. My lights are on a separate ventilation system then the sealed rooms. I have cold air in from the floor and filtered. Then I have exhaust into the attic. Then the lights suck from attic through lights and then outside.THAT’S FILTHY! Amazing work dude! Loved the animals pics too hehe!
One question, do you plan to use the attic as a grow environment at some point? Assuming that’s why the reflective material
Cheers and best of luck!

Very cool. I’ve got an idea to do an underground one eventually. My plan is to bury two 15 foot lengths of 10’ diameter plastic culvert. I have to do underground where I live if I don’t want to blow tons of money on air conditioning.
Anyway when you bury a section of culvert, it acts like a Roman arch and is impossible to collapse. Being underground will control temps, and with the culvert I will have to pour very little concrete and pump none. Just retaining walls on the back ends, and stairs and ROs in the front. The doors will be STC rated hollow metal, concrete grouted hollow metal frames, and 1 ton mag locks with RFID keys. In other words virtually impenetrable bunkers. The property I will be building it on is solar powered and once I own it will be off the grid. One culvert for veg, and one for flower. I will run 4 foot LED bars in strips, 6 inches apart, centered in the top and going out 45 degrees on either side for the whole length of each culvert.
This is just my dream that I probably won’t be able to make happen for a while. Even after I inherit the property it will be a lot of work. It’s awesome seeing someone make their dream a reality. I really like the barn design and I can tell you’re doing it up right.

You could try, but that plastic culvert is like a half inch thick. Or I could also pour a slab directly over it since it’s got the whole Roman arch thing going. I guess a lot of people have been using it to build underground bunkers and that’s where I got the idea.
