LOL. I hear you about the Rosetta Stone. I have it already, but I haven't gotten around to using it yet. Procrastination like a mofo. My Spanish is really rusty. It used to be pretty darn good.

I probably won't post any more updates for a week. I went to Home Depot today and picked up all my plumbing fittings for the sink upstairs, propane fittings, hoses, carbon monoxide detector, door, shims, baseboards, moldings, a couple ducting pieces, etc etc. Lots of work to do this weekend and next week. I'm going to plumb the sink upstairs myself. I'm tired of paying people to do shit. There is still quite a bit that needs to be done downstairs, but I'll finish that when I'm done with the upstairs. After I get the cable, internet, phone people here to rig their stuff up I won't need to have anyone else around. After it's all said and done with, my father and I are going to rent and auger and put up a six foot privacy fence around the house.

Here's your Werther's IAO!!! They are the SPECIAL kind.

Wow Gramps, will you do for hire work when you're done with this. I figure I could get the framing and sheetrock up myself, but the day I try to install electric and propane myself is the day my house turns into Chernobyl, Jr.
P.S. I could also go for a Werthers

I've had contractors build most of the house. The propane line was stubbed out upstairs so I only have to run copper line a few feet to the generator. Same with the electricity. Contractors wired the house, but I designed it such that running extra 30-50amp lines is as simple as dropping a wire through a hole to the main breaker. I made the city put in a 200amp pole. When I was growing up we always remodeled and fixed our own house because we couldn't afford to pay for help so I learned a lot from all that.

Update on the room: I put the vanity in the bathroom and plumbed the sink. It's a single sink, but I plumbed it similar to a two sink setup. The HydrGEN Pro will kind of act like the second sink. It's going to look really clean. I got all the doors in and had the cable/tv/phone guy come yesterday so I won't have to have any more people inside the house. I'm going to run the 30amp line when I get off work today. I expect everything to be finished by Sunday. I'll post some pictures up then.

Thanks for the comments everyone !!

I love those scrubbers
Any details on those?

What scrubbers? Are you talking about those Panasonic Whisper fans. Those are for the house ventalation system. I'm disconnecting them from my grow area. You can find them here.

Bulénath made a long thread about how to turn these into carbon scrubbers though. Right here. They are very very quiet, but don't move much air at all.

I know I said I'd have a good update by today, but between work, having a cold, and fixing problems that the alcoholic contractors I ran off left (gotta love jack-legs), I'm behind schedule.

They miscut a hole for one of my doors so I had to chisel out 1/2 inch of a 2x4 to put it in. :wallbash:

The wiring for the tv and phone wasn't finished and I had to figure out what wire was going where. :wallbash:

The place I ordered my valve for the Hydrogen Pro generator shipped it to some dude in Saint Paul MN, I live in the deep south :wallbash:

Etc, etc, etc :wallbash:

So...... baseboards are down, doors are in w/trim in place, 30amp line is run, had to cut the hole in the roof for one of my exhausts that they left uncut. :wallbash:

I should have my valve in this week and everything moved in sometime this coming week too. I'm shooting for Thursday. I want to spend a couple of days running the room without the plants (leave a big ass tub of water in the room to simulate humidity).

One more week!! I'm so sick and tired of construction and contractors. This is the second construction project (the other one non-MJ business related) that I've been in charge of in the last year. No mas, por favor! At least for a little bit.

Big day today guys. I'm moving my plants and setting up a lot of stuff in the room. I figured Thanksgiving would be a good day to do this since everybody around me is out of town at their relatives, eating Turkey, and hanging out. Let's get down do business! I'll have some good updates by the end of the day. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe.
