I Have one of those big metal, ugly school teachers desk where i converted the drawers into a micro grow area. But at the 9th hour getting ready to put my (hopefully) girls in there i change my mind at the last min and going to start from scratch. I Have some new plywood in the barn that i had for a year so i thought hell, why not build my own multifunctional stealth grow-box/desk that fits this room and what i need it to do for me!
This one i have in here now is just way to big for this room and i really need to get it out of here and into the barn where i can use it as a shop table. I Already started the project and have some of my pieces cut. In this room, I have this awkward little corner that's just big enough for a dresser, on the right and left side is sperated by a closet and a wall. The measurements for that area is 27" 1/4 wide X 8' h (from the floor to the ceiling) x 24" deep. I Know this is just hard to picture, but you will see as i take pictures.
I'm building the top part of the new desk 5' x 27" wide. One end of this desk is going to slide up into this awkward area and what is left sticking out will hold my 21" flat monitor, mouse and keyboard. I May build a little platform on the right side of the new desk to hold my tower (depends on how much room i have). After i get the desk part finished. I'm going to start on my stealth grow box. I'm going to build a box that is 27" wide and 24" deep that will sit up on the desk up in that awkward corner.
The grow box will go from the top of the desk to the ceiling. I'm going to build another box that will fit snug all the way around inside the grow box, accept 5" deep,.. i'm going to put small shelves to hold all my movies. That will be a "sliding door" into my grow area and i'm ging to put a key-lock hidden behind a few movies so shut tight without it moving when some gets a movie out. No one will know that something is growing behind those movies because it would just look like simple movie/game shelve!
I Know it's hard to picture and i will take some pictures of me putting that together
