It is built out of some oldschool wood. I love that look myself personally. Probably do the walls and sand and stain the floor for you Miss T.

Sounds beautiful

I can’t wait to see the finished product.

I’m going to put an ac window unit in it.

Before you flip, make sure that unit it light-proof!

In preparation of the Beast MarsHydro light on its way here. We are hanging up the fives boys and girls. Looking for ideas on the walls. Will be controlling the temps by ac/heat so thinking of insulating and then something fireproof. Reflective panels seem to be about the same cost as Sheetrock? Any pointers?

Plan on running a water line into the room. Basically 5x5 space. Going to put a AC Infinity 8 inch fan/filter and the MH 6500 gorilla light in there. Thinking that should do it. All input welcome!

Woohoo a clean build . Enjoy mate . Sounds like a winning combo . May be use bubblewrap two way insulation fornthe walls and roof. Creates a nice barrier from sun heat cooking the interior like an oven. Reflects blazing sun that hits my roof tiles away from my tent roof in my attic really well. Keeps winter cold out the same way too. Quite cheap to buy and staples up really easily too. Use it for so much in the grow space. Even wrapped my dwc pots in it to good effect. Can be pulled tight too. Nice thermal barrier.

Good morning NTH hope you are well today.
Just curious how is the fire rating on that plastic bubble reflective insulation.
Don't want a issue down the rd. :love:

Stay safe

If that “tongue and groove” wood would have been used all the way around I would just leave it natural but I’m also really tempted to make this whole room a fire proof scent proof fortress and forget about looks. Oh the problems. Haha.

To be honest have no clue what that rating means. Haven’t researched that aspect of it yet.

the floors take a beating in grow spaces. i wouldn't go to those lengths. it would be a diminishing return.

you can use aluminum duct tape to cover the exposed glass. completely light proof and reflects a little back as well.

double sided mylar bubble wrap is the next best thing to painted sheetrock. also much easier to install. as a bonus it is far more fire retardant than either flat sheet mylar or panda film. panda film is outright dangerous.
