I wish I had a sun porch I could grow on! LOL I'm stuck down in my hole all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love my hole, but it would be nice to have a window. Maybe I'll install a surveillance camera outside so I can see the view from inside

I'm think periscope...they have some neat "tube skylights" that might work also...I wish I had a sun porch I could grow on! LOL I'm stuck down in my hole all the time.

I also grow in my basement. Although I like my shop. I would rather have an outside greenhouse to grow in.
The.periscope style skylights are awesome, we installed a few in our last job. Two apparent drawback would be
-you would need a shitload to suffice without supplemental lighting... expensive and kinda weird I'd think to have 30 in a room lol
Second is the diffusion, great for ambient light but the light gets pretty diffused on its way throught.
And the glass used deflects retracts bends and filters many of therays beneficial and even necessary in some cases to plant life.
I want an old bomb shelter /NASA type.roof I can openup on sunny days

I only want a periscope if I can somehow also install torpedoes!
It will be tough to install solar tubes into my basement. I'm thinking the tubes might look funny running through the guest bedroom.
Forget the NASA bunker, how about a giant football stadium with a retractable roof. You get free sunlight on nice days by opening the roof, and it's already lit up with 500 1k MH lights for the rainy days!

Damn. Go big or go home eh? Lol Basically the same concept I was just thinking in a 30x 30 room. Outdoorindoor hybrid hydro anyone lol.
Gonna have to start saving up for a football stadium now...

There might be an advantage to a bunker. They can be found in more remote locations. I'm thinking a grow in the Superdome might not be all that stealthy. Plus all those football players will trample my plants!
Plus I'm learning that growing underground has some huge temp advantages.
HUGE advantages lol. U ever see that doomsday prepper episode when the old hippy renovated the middle silo in Kansas? Exactly that I what I'm talking about

Not familiar with the show. Don't watch a lot of TV by most standards (although recently the Mrs discovered Hulu so there has been much more 'TV' playing on the TV).
Problem with the silo is it will only get sunlight the couple hours the sun is directly overhead. Maybe the silo will have an elevator platform so you can raise the garden up into the light, and then lower it back down later and close everything up.
Man now I want a bunker. Oh wait, I have one with a house on top already! No I just gotta figure out how to make it convertible.
Heard of some folks that have been buying those huge long storage containers, digging holes, burying them in the ground.
Linking a bunch together, so you'd have multiple rooms
the ultimate in STEALTH.. major temp advantages.. multiple tunnel exit's/entrances.
Hell all you'd have to do then is put a shit ton of solor panals on the ground above it, to power the whole thing, plus yer house!
But I heard they quickly found out that they had to brace them with lots of reinforced steel. As when they put one in and started filling it in without bracing, it buckled from the weight and caved in..

Oh yeah dude. Google "shipping crate homes"your mind will be blown. We are hoping to build one ourselves in a few years.
whoa dude..
I just did, and yep..
mind's blown..
Now I wanna build one too!
"Honey!!!!??"

A nice livable home size could be achieved with 6 40' containers. They cost about 3k a piece. U wont find a home that size for no 24k 
that leaves ALOT of budget for drywall siding appliances plumbing etc. No expense would need spared really. Thinking about doing it ALL underground at the base of the vineyard and putting solar panels on the ground above next to he pumphouse. Noone would even know we were there. "Tennessee pot cave" style entry. Just a hydraulic door that looks like a 6 ton boulder
