step one: clear out the back end of the shed, and demolish the pressboard shelves.

step two: build a wall, approximately four and a half feet from the back end wall of the shed (materials already purchased). include building a leg for the remainder of the shelves using recycled wood from the demolition project, in preparation to re-cover them (later, different project) with something more durable than pressboard.

step three: add a, preferably, left-hand, outswing door.

step four: add a ceiling. (materials already purchased)

the framing for the wall is complete, and i have added a ceiling (which was easier than waiting until the wall and the door are there), so this is already out of order, but it’s a lot easier that way. i just ordered 200 feet of agricultural mylar, and i’m going out to buy a door, and the insulation tomorrow.

and i discovered that the shed is not only not square, it is not parallelepiped-shaped, either. it was OBVIOUSLY originally built by someone who DOES! NOT! CARE!, which i find particularly annoying because it was, literally, HIS JOB to care about such things. 😒

step five: add insulation on the walls and ceiling, preparing for step six in the process. then add reflective mylar sheeting over the insulation.

step six: add existing grow lights.
