Standing seam copper roof?I followed with great interest in SLGs thread.
He grew a beast for a 3x3.
My room is 20X6 ! With room outside for equipment.
Even with my handicap in this type of grow I can't lose IMO?
I am a copper roof specialist.
Been doing metal roofin for over 20 years.
Lots of Historical restorations and even a National [ possibly International] first prize for my work!
I have worked on things like the first presidential library created [FDR Hyde park] and churches like I was the Lords only servant!ATAS Copper Roof Crowns the New Saratoga Racetrack Club

I love copper!
It loves me back I feel?
Ya that commute will haunt you in your sleep for a while after you stop. I commuted 1.5 hrs each way for 7 years on a motorcycle, I was in an accident going home one night and broke a leg when a women ran a light and nailed me. After recoup it took me 2hrs each way for 2 more years in a small pickup.....I had reoccurring dreams about close calls or traffic jam nightmares for years afterwards....I still dream about my it once and a whileBad habit like most of mine! I wake around 4am most days without alarm. Sometimes I have to travel 2 hours one way for work.
It comes from going to work 5+ days a week for well over 40 years.
I am at my best when I wake up. High the rest of the day!
Been working 4 miles from home for last 2 months on a historic restoration project in the Saratoga State Park, so I have extra time on weekdays IN a.m.
Oh gross I've heard tell of such things but I don't think they allow that in our Country.....We like our cheese bug free.....at least visible bugs.
First thanks man!ALL VERY IMPRESSIVE. Nice work
Stupid question but do you get hit up to make some of those things they use out in the woods with fire?
I knew I loved you like a brother!Beautiful stuff bro, wow!
I've made my living in metal as well, mostly aluminum trim coil. I've had occasion to do copper over the years, was a lot of fun. I'm like smokedareefer in that I have a 10' brake and bend and fabricate everything onsite.
My first big job of the 'season' will be close to 2 hours one way. Maybe 2 months worth of it ! Still got 2 big ones close to home to do my part on first.Ya that commute will haunt you in your sleep for a while after you stop.

Second you would not be the first to ask about a still I think they call it?
I have never made one but understand the principle and probably could.
I knew I loved you like a brother!
Sheet metal has been very good to me.
I owned and worked for myself with same partner for 10+ years. He and I now work at 'new company' [ 4 years] and still have my 10' tennsmith 14ga. , an 8 foot 22Ga. and the Tapco Max [ my first brake from 20 years ago!].Still have 4 foot shear,3 foot bar fold and fork truck. Many 24 inch coil left overs.
Most my work is in 24 Ga. 'Galvalume' and copper [ both 160z and 20 oz].
Metal work is an art, especially in the field.
The 8 footer, tapco and a 4' shear would arrive on site via trailer.
New company has new shop being built this year where I hope to move all that stuff plus my carpentry shop.
I would love to get my 30x50 shop and two car garage back!

I love metal work, but not so much for buildings but cars. when I was young I worked for a place that made Midget and Sprint car chassis. The person that did the aluminum panels, tanks etc was always impressive to watch. I know aluminum will work harden does Cooper do it as well?First thanks man!

Does your boss cut you some slack on travel time or do they still want the straight 8 hours onsite?First thanks man!

I hope its not stupid because that was the first thing that came to mindALL VERY IMPRESSIVE. Nice work

Thanks man!wow , very nice set up @steamroller
I think you are looking at the room I built? I post some funny shit sometimes~!Wow! Late to the party again!!
Impressive to say the least. Is that a sea container you're growing in? Absolutely beautiful!!!
So it's a fixed room and not a sea container? I've built out a lot of sea containers that looks suspiciously like your room. Sorta.....I think you are looking at the room I built? I post some funny shit sometimes~!
It is aprox.5x20 inside, insulated with a heater/air conditioner. Couple Ac fans with old school controller and a 6g humidifier with pretty decent control built in.
Still being a slacker.
Need to clean room and get my seeds going someday though.
I think there will be a couple weeks re building for tables and drainage and test running the system.
Maybe more?
I am really in no hurry.
People here helped me grow well so I hang out hoping to help others.
You did a really nice job on that chamber. Clean, functional. What more do you need.....Yea simple room I framed up in my shop under a shelf!
That's nice right there!
I am of the belief 'the more the merrier'.
Part of the no stress grow is to grow enough..
I could totally screw up 1/2 my room and still do well.
Fortunately, that hasn't happened.
Is that a metal cargo container? Goes on either a ship or big rig?So it's a fixed room and not a sea container? I've built out a lot of sea containers that looks suspiciously like your room. Sorta.....
