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!!
Nice work. I'd love to have a setup like that. Can't wait to see the finished product, and the pieces you produce with a sweet setup like that.
I think it should be in its own thread. That way, more people will see it.Quote:

You know, if you don't have a garage, or room in it, I'll bet you could make something like this as a freestanding booth in your yard. And just run a cord out to it. :?Quote:

Finished the filter frame.
Added a third filter ...
I figured I would just add it now.
Getting ready to wire and slap on the exhaust blower.
$2.27 more for the exhaust brace.
And the frame as it stands :) now.
As you can see I braced the wall the best I could. It's actually very solid,
and I can barely vibrate the frame shaking it. Very strong, but one more
brace would be perfect.
But ... this is my last piece of wood.
I'll try and get more of it done tonight.
Next, wire management, then the plastic. 8)
:D
YAY!!!!
Excellent work!! Keep it up! Can not WAIT to see what you push out of this thing!

For the plastic ... I'm going to slightly over lap each corner, then tape each seam to seal it. And on the door, I'm going to leave a half inch overlapping the sides so when I close it, it will seal better. Best I can come up with.:rolleyes:
Sounds good! I can't wait for more more more!
BTW ... guess what I used to build this with :?
Drum roll ........................ a ... Dremel!
Yup, a Dremel. I found the fastest cutter was the new jig attachment. It went through this wood like butter.
Dremel your PC, and Dremel your next construction site. :eek: :D :D :rolleyes:
End of ghetto Airbrush paint booth!
Added 1mil to back walls. (1mil is too thin, so, I added another one. And 4mil seems kinda thick - I was hoping to be able to see thru it - oh well).
Did some wire management ...
Only plug I have. And it's also the trip switch for both my bathrooms (and for
some reason everything in the back - fountain, garden lights, auto sprinkler)
Added a wall plug and an airbrush hook.
Put flip top cover for all the outlets ...
Put weather stripping on exhaust for vibrations.
Wired it, sleeved it, and filtered it.
Did the ceiling ...
Put weather stripping for door jam.
Added adjustable track lighting ...
Brought out the one plug with a 3 way on it for the AC and whatever else I can come up with.
Put up the last wall ...
Sealed everything TWICE!
Did I cut the door right or what. :D
Does anyone see any light coming through?
With hinges and a nice rose door knob. ;)
I'm sure I missed some steps. But everyone gets the jist of what I did.
That's it ... I'll just add my table, and compressor, and paint supplies ... and ready I'm to go!
8)
Just read some earlier posts and Cool Dude Yer not a Dude!!! Sweet. I feel like a bit of a knob now, I'm sure I've called You mate and geezer before. Sorry bout that.
Still can't wait to see the end result of this. Laters;)
And ... with some stuff in it.
Lights out.
Lights on.
I think I'll add an L brace shelf for my supplies instead of another table.
I'm still going to get a Lazy-sue for the table so I can turn what I'm painting.
BTW, those blue covers are water proof on one side, and soft cotton on the other.
Love them ... discovered them from all the times I've been at a Hospice in
the last few years. Guess what they are? :D
8)
So ... it took me about 20 hours excluding all the breaks.
And about $150-$160 bucks for material. Some things I already had. Tacks, bar for track light, hook, knob, cardboard ( :) ), and blood, sweat, and fears. :)
Lol nice work dudess. 8)
Looks good! Wish i could do stuff like that...but i live in my mother's house and she'd never go for it. 2 Years, i keep telling myself. 2 Years and i graduate, so i can move out and not feel guilty about not looking after my brother's weight anymore. All the modding space i want, plus, when i'm halfway through a project, no-one will bitch at me to move the peices! I mean, i set up in the celler for fecks sake and i still get moaned at. Ah, to have my own place, and all associated hells.
-Dave
I know what that blue stuff is and all I'll say is. I hope its not used.
One question.Quote:

And no, they are not used. I went to a hospital supply store and bought a
case of them (60). They are great. Light weight, waterproof plastic on one
side and soft cotton on the other. The blue side (plastic) is great for painting
without anything sticking to it. And the cotton side is great for putting things
on it you don't want scratched.
I also picked up a box of disposable hospital gloves (I think 150 pairs). Super lightweight latex I think. Not sure what they are made of. But they kind of feel like a condom. Great for painting or anything where you need to have dexterity and sensitivity. :p :rolleyes:
I don't like that. Is there no way you can rotate the socket in the plate so that the wire hangs straight down?Quote:
Paraphrasing Drac998: Not used, I hope.. :pQuote:

And ... I can still hit the reset button if needed. :D
I also added a flip top cover for the compressor, with the back open to
breath better. And put the heavy 4mil on the floor.
:)
Q:what does tha reset buton (me do'no:? )
you can take the socket out and turn it around. Just remeber to turn off the power.
That's what I thought too.Quote:

Probably an ELCB built into the socket. Nice, but I still think it should be inverted.Quote:

Building codes are for new buildings. Screw the building code and use common sense. ;)
Could be a GFI (Ground Fault Interupted) socket. Basically the socket has a resetable circuit breaker in it. They are required/recommended if there is an electrical socket around any type of water, such as bathrooms, kitchen sinks, washing machines or in this case maybe the hot water heater.Quote:
