Hey Fixer, looks like you are having some fun. I would like to put my 2 cents into anything that is moisture, mold or water resistant. It's just that ( resistant ). Not proof. Over just a short amount of time it will fail. Like green board, that stuff is a joke. There is only 1 product that I have found that is moisture, mold and water proof. And it is called Den Shield. It is produced by the same co. that produces most of the dry wall and green board we all use. It cost a little bit more, but it is worth it. You won't be sorry.
I lived in Las Vegas during the construction boom and ran hundreds of marble and tile crews. All the builders were using green board in their tub enclosures. I thought to myself shoot in 2 or 3 years I will be able to start my own remodeling co doing just tub and showers. Sure enough. I've got 10 crews doing just that. And most of the time we use nothing but Den Shield without one of them failing in 20 years.
But it is up to you what you use. But trust me you won't be sorry.
Anyway good luck. And take care.............................................

Hi NUGneighbor, That's a great idea! I've used DenShield for EFIS work but never thought of using it in high moisture applications. I usually used Perma Base in showers and tub surrounds. I'll order some from Kamco instead of using MR Board.:dance013:

Finally got back into the space. My brother came over and we began the rough electrical. We decided to use MC incase the bldg. insp. classifies the build as mixed use.

My brother came by and helped this weekend. We got all of the wire pulled and all of the wall boxes set. We bought a 12 slot panel but it's maxed before it's installed. I'm going back to Lowe's to get a 20 slot panel.

Applied for a building permit need to go to ZBA because it's mixed use. :mad:
On a positive note the doors have arrived and a pallet of growing equipment is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Unfortunately we have to store the stuff as we can't install it.

Thanks LostTribe, I did not want any off gassing issues with the PT lumber near the plants. But I agree PT is normally used for direct contact. :tiphat:
