Just putting a coat of primer on the ceiling right now; taking a quick water break while thinking about lighting...

Anyone thinking how many Ai-Sols should be enough? I was guessing around six...

Here are some shots of the room I am getting ready, I got new drywall on the ceiling, did some mudding a few days ago and finished sanding it this morning.


Eli I found your footprints !


Still have a small area to cover over, also there is the Rubbermaid ToughTub, through the door is the back room, going to setup the filtration ect in the back room.


Backroom.... still have some work to do in here.


Shot of the wall I just installed two baseboard on.


Going to remove this nasty old heater and clean up the holes in the wall


Primer is on the ceiling, now tomorrow I will paint the final colour ( it's a little darker than the primer; and the floor will be painted black.


Looked at one of these ductless Air conditioning units today, I was thinking it would be necessary in the summer, and pretty much year round for keeping the humidity down, found a great deal on this model.


Ordered the main pump today, Reeflo Dart Gold 3600 series, and Vertex Puratek Deluxe 200gpd RO/DI and some random plumbing supplies.

Planning on a couple MP40's for flow.... still unsure if this will be enough.

Can you comment more on your ductless AC?

Where did you buy it? Why did you go that route, etc.?

This looks like one amazing project. Will follow your thread closely.

In regards to there ac units, they are awesome and work very well (my wife's parents use the same thing is Russia and my grandmother uses the same unit in Romania without any issues or hiccups for years).

These ac units are very quiet and they drain outside which is nice as very little to no maintenance is required.
