Hey all, been lurking a while, will now have my card and want to get my space constructed..
I drew a quick sketch of my space
http://i56.tinypic.com/fu75o5.jpg
The plan is to divide the space in half, so 2 spaces about 40-41" wide with a divider in the middle. I will create a raised floor so there will be cubby space for various things, we will also create a lower ceiling a little bit. I was going to line the entire thing with b&w poly and have a 400w on one side and a 250w on the other side.
If we created an edge along the openings, could I just run strips of velcro and then pull the flap open as far as needed?
As for ventilation, we were thinking we would drill 2 holes in the ceiling and run ducting that would connect above as a Y and then connect that into the closest bathroom ceiling fan duct. My local craigslist has 2 4" Vortex in line fans for sale, I found online these are rated at 172 cfm, is that going to be strong enough to keep the temps from being too high? There would be 1 of these on either side with carbon filters attached to each one. I was planning to have fans at the bottom moving air around as well..
Mostly just worried about it being too hot in there, not sure how much 172cfm is, any help/comments greatly appreciated.
