    Has anyone here ran a water line from their basement to the garage? Looked online and couldn't find anything.

    Looks like I can run the line from the water header in the basement, through basement joists into the garage.
    Mine is ran through there. I just have two regular outside taps from the side of the house in the garage. One cold and one hot. Perfect for filling buckets. The cold I have a garden hose hooked up to all the time. Use it to constantly clean the floor of the garage. That and the drain are the two best features of my garage and I could never go without again.

    Great, doesn't seem like I need to over complicate things. Just run tubing to the garage.

    Where does your garage drain lead to? Would be awesome to install one.

    I am thinking just to hose the garage down. Would be nice to have a sink, but then need to figure out how to setup a drain/pea-trap.

    My drain attaches to the house. There is about a 18"x18"x18" box in the middle of the garage under a grate, and then a ~3" drain that is about a foot from the bottom of that to allow for all the sand and dirt to fall and not go down the drain. I clean it out about twice a year. BTW the builder did this.

    So, I finally sold my Infiniti M37 last night. Not really story-worthy, right?

    Well, they arrived in a blacked out, black sedan. 3 medium to large sized, full-out Russian guys wearing black. The one buying the car is a body builder. I swore to god I just received a visit from the Russian mafia, but the sale seemed to go through without a serious hitch. Not going to lie - during the test drive I was in the back and always had the dude beside me in my peripheral vision... just in case.

    The buyer was actually a nice guy - but it's funny how we buy into stereotypes.

    Just got the septic pumped, been without it for two weeks as it filled and then froze Had to first get the bobcat to move the good 3 feet of snowpack from over winter so the pump truck could get at the tanks.

    Luckily we have a full shower room setup at work. Just meant a lot of piled up dirty dishes and clothes. Now time for a couple hour slog cleaning the house.

    You don't value instant water and sewage in the city until you've spent time with a crappy well and septic system!

    Brutal, definitely been through that at the cabin

    Hmm, why is the shower not draining properly, oh well must just be time to clean the drain. 2 minutes later look down to two inches of murky water.....

    Have had one of these beds for a while in my kids room. She moved to the basement, so I'm disassembling, and then reassembling it. If you thought IKEA furniture was fun the day you bought it, imagine years later.....

    Built a wooden platform for the cat's litter boxes. I slide boot trays under there and it collects the cat litter as it falls off their paws, at least that's the plan.

    You just haven't met the right one, our old man Larry is a great cat - probably because he acts more like a dog than a cat.

    I started building a coffee table out of some scrap wood and pallet wood that I have recovered from the shop. I'm that guy scouring the shipments coming in at work telling the guys to store the "good" pallets in the corner for me.

    Looks awesome... I've got a boatload of questions lol
    • What is your total cost like? (i see fancy lighting)


    Assuming it's hydroponics:

    • Are you cycling the water through all the bins? If so what kind of pump
    • Otherwise is the tubing for aeration? So just an aquarium air pump?
    • Is there some sort of monitoring system for the water levels?
    • Are you using plant food?
    • Is the grow-house a DIY or?

    I agree, my bengal cats are more like dogs. If you want one that's more of a dog get a savana or Bengal

    That list plus a couple small inexpensive items is it. Lighting is actually pretty cheap for beginners. 3 of the led lights were $50 a piece on amazon. And my new Mars led light (bottom left) was $120, and withing 48 hours I could notice a difference.

    Each 10g tub is on its own, with an airstone and filled with 5g of water.

    The water system is me opening the lids and looking. I'm at a month with about a gallon gone. As they plants progress they drink alot more.

    I add nutrients, I'm still experimenting but you can buy stuff right off the shelf and this will be a huge help with quick growth.

    It is a grow tent, I didn't want me basement windows glowing purple all hours of the day lol.

    Lots of YouTube videos on it, I follow one guy (grow365indoors) and hes just been a huge help with info.
