Hey guys, just showing what we've done so far, pretty much done. First grow for either of us. Basement setup. I didn't take many pics of the building process, because I was just in a hurry to get it done.
A friend and I did about four 10 hour days (spread out during mud/paint dry time) and spent $500ish in building supplies to build the room and $2500 in equipment for a total of about $3000
For venting, it's fairly warm outside this time of year in the Pacific Northwest, so we're just putting light heated air outside, however, during the cold months we'll pump the heat upstairs to save on the heating bill, which should help offset the grow costs.
Here is the room layout (won't lemme upload pic) - http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/691/roomlayout1.png/
We are doing Stinkbud's aeroponic plan, started with an 11x12 room, made an airtight 8'x8' sealed flower room, a clone/veg area of about 11'x3' and a 8x3' hall/storage area (which some will say is wasted space, but I am very glad it's there, kind of a privacy barrier even though one isn't needed).
Using all the standard stinkbud measurements except we only cut 6 holes per plant site rather than 14. We used the same length and same amount of sprayers, so when we are legally allowed more plants, we'll have room in this room to more than double our current amount, with the same equipment too (just gotta cut a few more holes).
Our friend is lending us his dehumidifier since he is on a LLLOONNNGG vacation...and I really don't think we're going to need AC, but we'll pony up if it becomes necessary.
(3) 20 amp circuits dedicated for this room. Should be more than enough. Using ONA Gel, if smell becomes too strong we'll buy/make a carbon filter for inside the room, but we're out in the boonies.
Cost:
About 80 man hours of work (me and one other person 40 hours each...learning things as we go, such as electrical and shit so we could do it all ourselves)
