I take it the black is some waterproofing?

I mostly build with 2x3 whenever I can get away with it
the material is just so much higher grade sitting there on the rack
polished straights and lower water count than about any of the 2x4 stock

looks like your really investing there
think I mighta hit all that wood with a quality high gloss white
would make future cleanups and disinfecting easier and more reliable id think
not to mention keeping the moisture contents down

those are some real fucking hingles!
takes a lot of work to cut clean holes out of plywood

I recognize those elements as a little before my time

Yes the black is waterproofing paint. Rest of rack will eventually get painted when I paint the room, still a lot of work to do before that happens. The top lights will be mounted like the bottom ones (adjustable height), have to get new lights first. As I stated earlier, functional is the key.

Just a quick post to show the shelves I made in action. The plants are varied strains I have in veg at the moment. Luckily being a caretaker has an advantage for the number of plants I can have in veg and flower.

Never finished this thread so figured I would get back to it.

Built the wall in front of the garage doors and then built a wee little work bench along it:
0D0AADCF-6D16-4DD8-B9A9-7831859BD64A.jpeg


And since I am venting all the lights into the attic I also installed gable vents at each end of the building:
212EF652-2F0F-4A6C-BE05-4954921A43E0.jpeg


But with the heat here I still didn’t think that would be enough So I bought some material for roof vent but the heat set in and this old man will wait until fall to install it:
CA480573-D66F-4BD3-827D-64FF5783A520.jpeg


Everything got insulated well and had to have some type of air conditioning. I went with a mini-split but was low on funds so could only afford a single zone. I am still using room a/c units in the veg and flower rooms:
3058EFE8-ACF3-46B5-858C-AB4057E42229.jpeg


The one thing I learned quick was that my water SUCKED so I ended up building a water system I could afford and still get the job done. I installed 2 one foot aquarium bubble bars inside the water container for aeration and then a filter that I hook up to a hose. Perhaps down the road I will install water but for now this is what I have going:

Well that’s it for now, it’s all still a work in progress (like my life).

My new project is a deck in front of the house. Been using unstable crap steps since I have been here:

That grow set-up is so nicely done. I know I'm late commenting on it, but it just stands out.

Still working on it. I have the basic deck built, the steps are built, have to pretty it all up yet. I am working on the landing right now. Unfortunately Mother Nature has decided to throw a monkey wrench in by bringing in cold, ice, and rain so haven’t been able to work on it for days. I will post a few pics when I get the landing finished.
And yes I fell off those steps last winter due to ice and screwed up my shoulder.

I am far from done but have the basic deck in place. Still have to put the kickers in the stairs, and the fillers in between posts, skirting and paint. So here is what I have so far:
