I’m so envious of your space!

Ok this weeks update. Will be traveling around Az next two days to visit family.
Got door up, just need door locks.

Dark in there, lights on.

That's quite an erection you have there.

You noticed!

Yep a 10-12ft high, 100 sq ft erection!

I'll be glad when the erecting part is over! Definitely looking forward to the end of the ladder/scaffold work.

Gonna leave the floor raw or do you have another idea?

The floor is concrete with gray epoxy coating and is sloped toward door. Left a small gap under door threshold for water escape if required, everything else is sealed. The entire room should be a breeze to clean and wipe down. Did have to use wood to support the door, but I put two coats of sealer on them after they were cut to fit then capped in metal. I think that should be good, no?

This week's update! Got the space completely closed in and hung lights before taking scaffold out. have started on the drain stand but still need to trim/customize a bit. I will have to get a new 4x6 tray as one tray I have doesn't have the drain in the right location.

When the ladder work becomes too much, I can now switch to working on the inside. Outside just needs insulation, 6mil plastic and the final panels and cut/mount vents. Inside, still need to plumb water and drain lines and plumb three 6" screened damper vents. One for AC and two for in/out airflow.
Still have much to do but thinking about starting some seeds soon! Any suggestions?

You can grow some trees in there. Love the casters.

Wow!

What are the lights?

 

[Thurston]

I assembled the lights from components bought from HLG. Eight QB272 boards and 2 700 watt power supplies.

Looks pro!

Looks pro!

Thank you for that.

For me "Pro"= Procrastinator!

 

[Thurston]

I was wrong, they are 600 watt power supplies.

My first DIY lights were a lot more jankier!
