Started to get some of the exterior wall started and the last stringers on the deck,
After the interior is some what completed I will be building the grow light cabinets and the drier. Stay Tuned and thanks for looking! Cheers, SC

Sorry SC, but I haven't got a clue.....This has nothing to do with the build but can you tell me why in a multi quote when I start typing below the first quote it eats up the letters from the second quote?
Good to hear from you buddy!!
And then just like the Lone Ranger ....Voila'Just hit MultiQuote on the posts you want to quote, then hit Add Reply, and there is spacing in between the quotes for your words.
Hardly a day goes by...that I don't learn something new on THP.
Thanks for the "How to" ...THP Admin.

Funny,
I learned that the first day I joined! guess Dan didn't read or understand the question! owell must be a glitch, I have a screen recorder for the next time it happens
Thanks CM
In these pics I managed to get all the out side wall framed; they actually hang from the floor joists, got the 2 2x12 main carriers for the deck and temporarily set the 6x6's in place.
The deck is the hardening off area, 2-3ft glass French doors open out from the upper greenhouse to the deck and the peppers will be on wheeled carts to be rolled out and back in for night, the deck will also have a clear roof.

You are doing this yourself? Nice work 
I'm helping my dad and brother with a renovation just like this at the moment. (basically the same thing but no chilli involved.. I am trying to convert them with gifts of chilli oil and butch T plants tho
)
Before you put the floor sheets down did you put blocks between the joists? Can't see in the pictures. We had to do this these last few days cos the joists were all bouncy.

Thanks Megamoo, I did not block between the joists first, thought that I would do it later but the floor in not real bouncy. Menard's ran a sale on treated lumber that was cheaper then white wood and treated lumber here is made from red or yellow pine which is at the least twice as strong as spruce (white wood) so I was able to get away with 2x8's instead of 2x10's for that span.
Basically as you know some of the bounce comes from the joists flexing to the side on the bottom thats why the blocks will help, but after the blow-in insulation I will be covering it with 1/2 osb and then drywall do to the fact I am putting in a coffered ceiling and need to fasten the drops and trim everywhere. so the osb sheathing will do the same as the blocks, not allowing the bottom to flex. Good luck with your project and happy building
Thanks for looking SC
This pic is of the demolition of the existing window frames that were in place when the original concrete was poured.
Kinda reminded me of the teeth of the large worms in the movie Tremors!
The foaming of the exterior walls to the concrete.
OSB extention jam tieing the outer wall to the inner wall. the window will get the same treatment!
A window ready for it's extention jam.
a pic from above to show the muddle I dreaded. The shit gutter was still full of aged chicken crap that had to be removed and I sledge hammered out the bottom and dug it about 16 inches deep, filled it with gravel sifted from the driveway. The gutter will have drain tile with a fitting running up the walls on both ends. For dehumidifier water and such.
Cleaned the majority of the rubbish out and stacked it to be burned tonight.
Found a 3ft x3ft hole in the corner so I dug that about 3ft deep, feed a water line under the foundation and dropped in a 55 gal drum with a sifter and 2 inch pipe, filling that with gravel. Hind sight I think running hot water and a sink would be nice, and maybe a dishwasher to wash and sanitize the trays and pots. :veryhot

Forgive me for being stupid, but what is the point of this??????
Thanks for looking JAG
On the contraire,
A sink will be in this corner for washing the peppers before drying.
There is a few parts missing from the pic, I didn’t have the camera handy.
The black drum is drilled out with 50 or so ¾ inch holes and inside of that is a 30 gallon drum with holes as well; the 2 inch pipe you see in the pic goes into the inner drum, the outer drum is there for more of a retaining support so the inner drum doesn’t get crushed and collapse.
Hope that answered your Q.
Been keeping an eye on your grow log over the last few month, great job on the beds and garden area. Looks like you have some awesome chili’s there!

Good one, I had to google that, and yes it is. Didn't even know they had a name for them,
In these pics I applied the sheathing to 3 walls, and put the extension jams in the window; foamed them in place and routed out the openings.
Chomping at the bit to get some peppers started, long way to go yet!
Thanks for lookin, SC

Installing the floor, 5 separate over lapping layers of 30lb felt.
2x4's layed flat 16oc and blocked every 24oc with 3/4 T&G osb sheathing.
Cheers, SC

Wow! I am really jealous. That is going to be an incredible grow building. It looks like you are having fun with that old structure (sarcasm). Working on things that are out of square and not level can be a bit frustrating huh?
I was curious about a couple things though. Why did you frame out the exterior? I was thinking it probably would have been cheaper and less labor intensive to slap up some furring strips and install some vinyl siding.
Also, why did you include headers? I see you said the walls are attached to the second floor joists.
I hope you don't take that as me trying to be smart or something. I am genuinely curious.

Hi Josh,
You brought up a couple of good points!
Thanks for your comment and Q's josh,

Finally got around to putting up some of the interior walls, a little hard to see with all the junk in the way!
Put in the main 100 amp service and a few electrical boxes along with pex tubing and drain pipes for the water stations, 3 upstairs in the greenhouse 2 downstairs in the grow room and one exterior spicket.

Absolutely amazing job Spicy. Looks like you have thought of just about everything. Oh, except one...Don't forget to wire for a killer sound system! If I had a dream grow system like what you have built, I would spend most of my at-home time tending to the plants and pumping out the tunes. Looks like you have no close neighbors to worry about and the plants would love it.

Thanks chileaddict!
Great minds think alike, bought the 200 ft. of # 12 speaker wire last Friday, fix-in to put it in shortly!
I like classic ROCK and Country. hope the grass holds out.
