ReikoX's Workshop Rebuild 2020

Yeah, my house was built in the early 70s. The cabinets are original, the wall it was on was unfinished behind it and there were no ceiling tiles where it was.

Hahaha, nope inches. It’s a tiny tent in my bathroom.

Got the lung room taped and mudded except for the wall above the window. My plan is to finish that last edge tonight after the kiddo goes to sleep. Then tomorrow night I’ll finish covering everything in plastic, and sand the joints. Shoot texture Saturday night and prime and paint on Sunday. Provided I dont get a case of the fuckits.

When they commission a large telescope it is called ‘first light’ when it first gets used. (optical tests etc. don’t count)…

So - when do you estimate your ‘First Light’ and what plants are you planning on for the maiden voyage?

My goal is to launch this baby on August 1, 2020. Im going to start with one of my crosses. I am either going to do Juanita la Lagrimosa x Lowryder2, or Ghost Toof x Sugar Black Rose.

Yeah, I see it. I’m still not convinced it’s not a train though. :joy:

More progress is getting made this weekend while the kiddo is with her mother. On saturday, I got everything covered in plastic and sanded all the joints. The palm sander with the shop vacuum made the job a bit easier and cleaner. The ceiling was the worst of it, my shoulders are still sore.

Sunday my dad came over and shot the texture. It took us longer to clean up than anything else. I was hoping to get the texture up Saturday and paint Sunday, but that didn’t happen.

Here is a close up of the texture.

I decided on colors for paint. I am going with the lighter blue, Blue Arrow, on the walls and Bistro White for the ceiling and trim. I am debating the white or blue on the concrete on the bottom half, leaning towards white. Finally, I’m going to use the Deep Twilight Blue for the doors. I really like the darker blue, but thought it would be too dark for the walls.

Got a couple hours after work to get two coats of primer in the lung room. I also got two coats of paint on the ceiling. Nice part about painting the ceiling is I can put the light fixture back up. Sometimes it’s the little things. I wont have more time to work on it until Sunday.

was gonna say somethin’…if i could remember what it was…

I replace these with a different type at every opportunity.

looks like some of those labels get more use than others.

ARGH trim screws should be horizontal or vertical! Never at an angle and…they should all match!

Getting close.

So…

What if your area goes full-legal & you can have an outdoor? :thinking: Just “more the merrier”? …or will it be converted to a peep-show with @toastyjakes as The Gimp? :laughing: Gotta have that retirement plan! :joy:

Only thing I’ve considered growing outdoors here is CBD hemp. Outdoors in the desert is a bit difficult. Even my tomatoes and chilis last year struggled with the 95°F heat.
