Use zero VOC paint, and interior KILZ. I used a 0 VOC paint/primer combo. 'Sbeen up over a year. So far it has held up well. Use scrubbable paint. I think it was Valspar. Good luck. -granger

Just finished all exterior plywood, caulking, foaming and interior insulation. I'm about to put 6 mil plastic on the inside over the framing & insulation tonight and then a friend is coming tomorrow to help me cut holes for ducting and drywall.

Super productive weekend! Put in 6 mil vapor barrier and taped it all off top to bottom. Put in heavy ass 5/8" purple gypsum. Started cutting ducting holes in walls. Taped up all drywall and about 1/3 of the way done with mud. By the way I gotta say that N9511 masks are a MUST for anyone working with insulation and drywall. My throat got super irritated just being in there for 2 minutes without one. Rubber gloves are also awesome.

Another great weekend of getting things done! I don't know why some of these images got turned upside down.. but you get the idea. Finished mud and primer. Definitely not perfect but a clean job nonetheless.

Took your advice on this. KILZ is the best primer I've ever worked with! I'll let you know how it goes with the Valspar. Thanks Granger! :good:

Trying to set aside some time this weekend to build my veg box, paint, and build the door. I'd kill for a day off work to just work on this! Baaaahhhhh!!!

Made some progress on my veg cabinet. Still gotta put some doors on, throw the 4ft T5 in, air flow, and test for light leaks. Was able to use leftover plywood from building the room.
