Honest, and its good to see a woman in on modding, most think us males (As a mogoratie of modders are male) are sad for even thinking of such a project.
Keep up the good work,.
Great mod can’t wait to see the finished product.
Started on the ghetto spray paint booth this weekend.
I decided to change the location though. I'm putting it in the
top corner of the garage, right next to the water heater, and my
13,000BTU portable A/C. I'm moving the exhaust fan to the left side of the
booth (on the bottom) and the table to the right.
This way I get it out of the way.
Still big enough for me ( 6' L x 3'10" W x 7' H )
I decided to go with the taller ceiling because I wanted to hang a big light there. And I have it closer to the exhaust hole so the vent won't be in the
way. Much better I think here.
Anyway, the area ...
Pre-cut some pieces ...
The first part ... (7' H)
-- and the part I'm going to use as the whole things anchor.
Then I make a 2x2 (which will end up as a 3x2) for the one post and the
week point of the ceiling.
I tap in a nail to hold a 6' board to the new 2x2 post.
Notice the old leak in the ceiling. This would have been a bad spot just a few weeks ago (I have a new roof now :) )
Add a corner brace to make it stronger.
The other corner that comes off the wall.
Now I have my ceiling frame.
Next, the start of the front filter frame.
For the bottom of this frame ... liquid nails to hold it to the cement,
The 2x1 is at a 90 to the other, leaving a perfect 1" for the filters.
And more liquid nails for the bottom left wall. A hefty bead all the way down
and on both ends.
And you'll notice I added a filter frame brace.
Now one coming down the water heater side with bracket.
Lets add some roofing ... :)
Inside the filter frame, lets tape in the filters.
I'm going to use masking tape for the filters so I can easily change them.
I hope I have these in the right order.
More ...
Add some eye hooks for the light.
Add a door header. And make the 2x2 a 3x2 to make things flush
and the one post as strong as I can.
I forgot to buy the light before, so ... add 20 bucks more to the total.
Now, diamond plate is NOT my first choice for a light. But Home Depot
had a one day sale from $39.95 to $17.95 for this, so I bought it.
Couldn't resist ... bought some hinges for the door.
BTW, the liquid nails I used.
And, how about this.
Does anyone see 9 steel blades on the plastic fan :D
And, add 12 more bucks for the hinges and LN.
That's it so far. Hope to have it finished soon.
Above was done on Saturday. Here is what I did today.
Built the door.
Just kinda hanging there for the shot.
I'm not going to put the door on until I put the plastic over it first.
I'm going to put the thin 1mil on the inside two walls and the ceiling. And the
thicker 4mil plastic on the door, outside wall, and above the filters. I'm also
going to put the 4mil on the floor, and cut about 3 extra pieces for the floor
so I can swap it out once in a while.
Next comes the side brace and exhaust fan. Then I'll unhook the light, tack
on the plastic, re-hook the light, run the exhaust vent, do some wire
management, then put in my stuff. I'm going to put the table in the far corner and get some kind of lazy-sue setup going (I love my paint setup now ... I put a board on my shop stool, cover it, and paint, then turn the swivel stool instead of walking around it. That way I see every side with the same light.
:D
So, what do you think so far? My very first wood construction. :)
All I did was look at stuff on the web, and did this. :)
BTW ... on the one side of the filter frame. You can see it's missing a piece. I ran out of long pieces (I only have enough left for the side brace and exhaust) So I'll just nail on a small one to finish it off. I'm also leaving enough room for one more filter if needed later.
I guess its pretty good for a GURL!! Nah, Im just kidding.. Its really cool as hell.. I am anxious to see the finished product. I imagine you will be able to get some serious painting done in there!!
