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.) — LATER!

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

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

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.

hanging the lights has yet to be done — hanging the lights requires two people: one on the inside, and one on the outside — and the doorknob has yet to be installed, but the door closes, in spite of the fact that it swelled up with moisture during the past few days of rain, thanks to my next-door neighbour, tracy, who showed me a nifty trick that involved removing shims and hammering the frame, so that i don’t have to take the door off its hinges and plane or sand it.

i’ve moved the light-booth in, and created three clones, yesterday, which are already starting to perk up after being cloned. the plan is to have vegetative lights in the light-proof booth, and flowering lights in the main room, where there’s more room.

in other news, my friend tim furst (who is also known as Fyodor Karamazov, one of the original Flying Karamazov Brothers) gifted me an authentic, hand-made, aboriginal didjeridu, from Kuranda, Queensland, Australia, made in 1986. he said, and i quote: “I’d like to put it in the hands of someone who will play it.”

i am honoured to be the recipient of such a gift, and i will, in fact, play THE HELL out of it! 😉👍👍
