What did you accomplish today?

How did the humidity dome project fare, neo?

The first attempt was a complete disaster. Mainly because blue painters tape was the only thing I could find to attach the chopstick uprights to the tray. I ditched that effort this morning and cannibalized one of my wives bed-in-a-bag bags and that seems to be working great.

I'm in new york right now pushing snow. Easily a foot in most places I've been so far.

That is the spirit!

Put up paneling in closet today, and caulked away light leaks under steps. (They were previously 'taped' away.)

Originally, going up those steps looked a lot like theater lighting during photo periods. (The wife always teased about that).

Of course, I'll paint over the caulking later this week. Also have to put in floating floor tomorrow and trim the seams and put up baseboard. Just going to get cheap ass white foamboard trim for this application.


33 sq. ft. of flooring, but actual useable space is about 3' x 4' x 8' high. You can put a plant or 2 under steps, but that's out of direct light range so I rarely do it.


Like restoring an old convertible, I can't wait to drive it again.

So were finished with the trap ....having trouble loading pics ...but it turned out pretty neat ....the boy is excited about it ....il post more pics later .....when it doesn't take 12 minutes per pic ......wtf

He's quite pleased with himself .....he said ((I'm so guna beat all the other kids and catch the leprechaun dad))........that's my boy ....that's my boy ....


Now go whoop some leprechaun ass ....lol

I got sap all-over my body. Don't try to be a naked carpenter. Oh let Jesus know to come over, I got something for him.

That looks fucking awesome @Indacouch

Just as we all have, they will still have to stumble through the schools of "hard knocks" and
"dumb luck." Fortunately you are providing them with the tools to figure shit out, get back up and to keep going forward.

No not really ....he does go to a small country school that is very nice because it's small and it has a whole different feel than just a regular large public school ......he was super proud when we carried it into his class and all his little friends gravitated towards his trap and started asking him questions and checking it out ......he didn't even say bye to me ...lol...he was to busy showing his invention to his friends .

Most all the kids that go to his school are farmers/dairymens kids ....it's a public school ,,just small and in in a rural area ....literally surrounded by almond orchards and there's nothing else near that school except farm land .....kids gotta be in that certain district to go there ....it's only 5 or so mins from the ranch so it's nice to not have to take him into town like I did for preschool .....all my brothers kids and even my wife went there .....I have a niece there as well ....she always finds uncle on Mondays and Thursdays to get snack money for the school store ....today's minimum day so il be picking her and lil Inda up and taking them for a tasty treat after school .....that's the minimum day deal .

Ahhh that's sweet, what a nice life.

Put in floating floor right over old indoor carpet in grow room today. They said I couldn't do it. I said, fuck you. It's done.

View under steps, didn't change the old paneling there, no real need. Just storage for pots, trays, fertilizer, etc.

Trimmed out rest of room with white foamboard. Cheap. Who cares, it's functional and white semigloss, good for growing.

still need one cheap piece of trim to cover 5/16" expansion gap on one side. Floating floors require an expansion gap.
Some of the trim isn't oriented normally because it had to be fitted behind outlet boxes, just trying to cover paneling ends.


I'm running 4 double outlets (not all used) off one line. Electrician buddy is coming over to cut connection to numbers 2, 3 and 4, and will hook up fresh new 12-2 line to them. Then, I'll have 2 lines going in. No more blowing a breaker running a vacuum cleaner or hair dryer. That always sucked. I run a 600 overhead and two 135 watt LED's for side lights. Those LED's aren't the primary footprint, but they sure are bright. I could get a 1000 to replace 600 someday, not sure if I'd benefit in a small area though. I'll think about it.

still have to paint under steps, caulking tube said wait 48 hrs., so tomorrow sounds good.

Not today. But started yesterday. I've made my first attempt at cloning.

I took three samples from my outdoor plants. Two from the lanky one. And one from the regrown "top" on the other. The regrow is hiding in this pic.

Noice. Good luck. I just took a few myself. It's a race! To see who doesn't kill them first! Just kidding. They like a moist environment. So if it's winter and the air is dry as fuck like here, they'd appreciate a few mists throughout the day.
