You would not believe how difficult this is doing this with only one person…wow! Besides handling about 12 foot of 6 foot wide material, doing it hunched over makes it twice as difficult, at least for me.
First I had to move the A/C unit. Instead of cutting that P&S away and running new P&S I just pivoted what I already had. It’s not perfect but it will do for now. Until I get that long, East wall up.
I cut a hole in the ceiling panel for the exhaust duct. The other hole to the right was where the hard-wired smoke alarm used to reside. Once I put that East wall up both of those holes will have to be blocked off. I’ve been keeping the cut out pieces for that purpose. I ‘think’ I’m going to cut another hole for the A/C Intake hose. I thought I had some 5 inch ducting hose. I don’t. I have 4 inch ducting hose. I do have 3 pieces of 8 or 10 feet hard ducting.
Then the view with it roughed in…
This is what it looked like when I got it pivoted and the existing P&S roughed in (horrible Metal Halide picture, sorry!). There is a wall-mount oscillating fan laying on the floor. It is now mounted to a stretcher board on that North wall that I had to make to avoid trying to hang the fan on the concrete (stucco). I thought I had taken a picture of it. Looks like I didn’t. I ran the plastic on that North wall and mounted the fan on top of that.
Then running the new P&S out and installing the Adhesive Backed VivoSun Zipper. I had to tuck the extra foot or so of the zipper under the plastic. I’m sure to trip on it!
I finished taping and stapling the loose cut ends of the plastic on the inside. I have to take care of some final light-proofing and will flip them to Veg at 12pm tomorrow. Lights off will be from 12pm to 6pm.
Back at it!
I need a nap!
