I looked briefly at those, I wondered about the axle interacting with the soil (I found my super soil mix would strip zinc off steel in a week flat - OK, maybe 2 weeks). Perhaps enamel paint? …Or maybe I was just overthinking it.

Actually, the plastic covers the axel.

My buddy was supposed to be here this weekend to add a 60-amp service. He ended up flaking on me, but I was still able to get the boxes installed, holes drilled, and wire ran.
Next I wired the three sockets to the flower room on one breaker and the three sockets to the veg room on another breaker. Finally I ran a short run on a third breaker for my driver panel. I need to do something better with the ground wires.

Finally, I sealed the holes with fire stop expanding foam. I’m going to give that a day to cure and put the insulation back up.

Looking good, going beyond the norm with the fire stop, I only see that being used in hotels.

If you end up putting in the drain fittings, can you try and document it on here? I’m interested in seeing what parts you use and how you do it.
I’m gonna read up on these soma beds. I’m already thinking about my next grow and am leaning towards a 45 or 60gal fabric pot rather than 7 or 10 gal pots per plant. But something like this may be worth me doing as well…
Right man pays attention to detail. Although firestop is a bit useless on a wood stud wall.

Was on the Lowes tutorial for installing insulation, so I did it. I also wore my good tennis shoes.

Finding a particle mask these days is a challenge. Luckily, my dad has me covered. Long sleeve shirt, long pants, gloves, glasses, respirator, and hat. It got hot, but I didnt get itchy. I put back the old insulation and sandwiched the wires between the insulation.
I then cut out the holes for the electrical boxes, etc. This all went pretty quick because it was already cut to length.
I then insulated the east wall. This wall is the side with painted wood paneling on the other side. The insulation already makes it feel more solid.
And then I insulated the ceiling. I had to staple the ceiling, and of course, I ran out of staples about 2/3 of the way through.
I left the area with the ducting, this is also where I want to run the electrical service. The main reason for insulating is to reduce the noise, I’m not worried about exhaust noise coming from my vents.
I decided on the floor. I will have to do it in two parts, but it should work out well. Time to start scraping the old glue off the floor. Most of it comes up pretty easy, but is quite dusty. I’ll be needing the respirator for scraping.

Looks great, I hate fiberglass insulation, it always makes me Itch for 24 hour’s after using it. Usually at the gap between my cuffs and gloves, being tall and long arms sometimes has dissadvantages. That epoxy for concrete floors is good stuff.

I was careful to tuck everything in. I even had the hood on while hanging the stuff on the ceiling. I did have issues with “plumbers crack” a couple times. Getting high and geared up made me feel like an astronaut.

Another month and everyone will be wearing tyvek suits and masks, so you should feel no different to everyone else lol.

Just remember if you get fiberglass on you. Cold shower as cold as you can bear. Hot shower opens the pores and makes the itching worse

I’ve been preparing the floor for the epoxy coating. Most of the glue from the tile was able to be scraped up dry. I then washed the floor with dawn twice, the rinsed it twice.
It came out pretty good. There is still some paint and glue on the floor.
I did the same thing to the flower room this side was worse. Lots of glue still stick on the floor under the storage cabinet.
More paint and adhesive on this side.
So I picked up some paint stripper and some stripper blades. I’ll start on this tomorrow, would be nice to get the first half done this weekend.
