Hey guys, been doing research and collecting my thoughts and ideas for awhile now. I was originally going to set up in one of my closets but after doing a few temp checks with the book shelf in there I soon realized I was going to run into temperature issues..
A friend suggested a compact ac, however i'm trying to only spend where needed and those little things can get pricey! I have an a/c hanging on the wall in one of my rooms, and was actually planning on taking it down and walling it up a month or two ago but then it clicked..why not just use it where it sits for my babies?
So, that being said..I duct taped a trash bag around the ac unit running to a dryer hose haha..and it is actually working very nice. Where i was hitting 90's in the closet, I stay steady around 78-80. The duct tape is holding for now but I really want to utilize that ac unit in a not so ghetto fashion, possibly with ducting? Any ideas would help
Also, the lighting..am i alright? four 26w 6500k for now, have sockets to fit more and was planning on getting bigger bulbs..can't find any bigger at home depot so I guess i'll just order online.
Anyway, like i said any thoughts or ideas that might help me out would be greatly appreciated, thanks![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
