looking good hope this works out real good for you
I'm sure I'm going to dance around with the heat issue once everything is set up. Trust me, the attic was a last resort. I'm just a couple more weeks.

Bryant, thanks for sharing your journey... I'm looking at doing something similar... you said your wife is handling the finances - do you know what total costs for the project will be, because I need to make a budget. Thanks and thanks.
I'll get some better figures tonight when I get home, but the construction ran about $1500. Then I have the lights, fans and other misc. equipment. Those will be around $900.
(aside from what your dropping into your bowl after a long hard days work!)Got the wall panels up this weekend. It really makes the room look like a space ship! I just want to point this out. I DID NOT INSTALL THE FOIL SIDE OUT SO IT COULD REFLECT MORE FOR THE LIGHTS. I did it so the flouresants could reflect more light so the room had a light, not for plant growth. And it looks better then the white side that had lettering on it. But I do plan on installing mylar in the flowering room. I think I can install it correctly. Just have to tape all the seams and corners. And install the door. I will do the ladder to my office later, as well as the sink. And install my exhaust vents on the one end where the chair is. The area around the outlets were left out too. I'm going to install drywall around them. These foam boards have me on edge alittle concerning fire. Better be safe then sorry.

bryan i just started a much less impressive but very similar attic setup. I live in a very old house and do not have access to the venting and wiring you do and am very concerned about the heat also. I also tried to insulate using reflectix. I was hoping to avoid a portable ac unit but from your thread I am starting to think that wont be possible. Could you please take a look at my setup? It is in the journal forum. I am very interested in how you will vent/cool/and clean your air. We are on very similar schedules so it will be fun to compare grows. Your blog is VERY educational. thanks

na guy that kind of reflective material is good too, how much was a sheet of that? mylar is about $30 for 25'x4'..Lookin pretty good, how many are you trying to fit in there? I would also be careful about heat especially if it snows where you are..idk
Thanks man. Your right, I might just leave it the way it is. The panels came in 4'x8' sheets. They were $9 a sheet and I used 11 of them. But I have about a sheet worth of waste. If you see how my roof is constructed, I have a barrier of about 12 from the main to the "ceiling" of the grow room.
Thanks to everyone for their comments. I should have the lights and fans this weekend.....maybe. Blew my knee out, so its alittle hard to move around this week.
