Couple of things going on. I am outgrowing my indoor grow room. My barn has its own electric meter so would be much easier to split the electricity up that way for record keeping. Need to figure out what the best choice would be.
Barn - I could build an insulated grow room, no reason to spend good money on a roof cause it would be inside barn. Circuit breaker box is right there and if I stay 115 v it is already fairly well wired. Oh but no matter what I do, I am paying extra for the heat.
Build Outside - Maybe go four foot up the south wall with insulation, fully insulate the back. Save some money on lights with a clear roof. Thinking it could not be rolled plastic because horrible insulating factors. Save some money on lighting would offset heating on cold nights.
Expand grow room - Need to replace some lighting so might go LED. Doesnt eliminate stairs which is one of the things I am after. Doesnt split electricity into business vs. home. But probably the easiest to do. Carpet down there is shot anyway. Likely pain with that two part epoxy basement paint.
Pulling towards outside deep winter green house design. Kind of a fusion between a shed and a green house cause only the south wall is clear. But keep the indoor stuff for the smallest of starts.
