I did some work for the neighbor last week installing his water softener and made enough money to finish up the groom
today my goal is to finish the sheetrock then it's 3 days of taping and sanding then paint.. Once the painting is done the real fun begins installing the mechanicals. I will be upgrading my light by modifying my fixture so the 4000K cobs can be replaced with 1700K cobs for flowering by flipping a switch making it a veg and flower fixture. I also want to add a gravity fed watering manifold to make it easier on this old fart to water. I will still be using a shop vac to extract the waste water so it can be fed to my out door plants. I am waiting on a tool so I can shorten up the coax cables in the corner. With my current schedule of work a day rest a day it will take another month to finish up or more depending on how much slackin I do peace brothers and sisters.

drywall to ceilings is bloody awfull when you have to do it yourself.
Can you get someone to give you a hand?
Or rig up a prop from 2 bits of timber to form a T shape. You can use this to prop one end of the sheet, making life a bit easier.

drywall loooks pretty good, keeo up the good work
Thanks JJ I really struggled yesterday I kept having to trim every piece I cut to size because it was too big to fit
Saved the ceiling for last? You may have to rest for more than day after that... unless you've got a lift. Always wanted one of those
That is going to be one sweet space, @Homer
Hey Horse I got most of the ceiling done before I ran out of sheet rock most of the pieces were small enough I was able to hang them by myself

Thanks for the idea BBBB I was able to get most of the ceiling done holding the sheet rock in one hand while screwing it in with the other

great space you've built there Homer
I'm not much of a builder really, wish I could knock something like this together easily... but Dj's half inch rule needs to be expanded to two inches in my case
look forward to seeing you grow some big ladies in there anyway dude
