Paint booth work

We continue to make progress on the paint booth.  We installed plastic on the ceiling.  This took a few pieces because we wanted clear plastic so that the lights would shine through, and both Home Depot and Lowes only had smaller sheets of plastic that were marginally clear.  Word of caution, just because the label on a box of plastic sheeting says "clear" doesn't mean it's really clear.  It could be gray, and they still call it "clear".  Apparently, the level of transparency can vary wildly depending on the percentage of recycled content in the plastic, which is not listed on the packaging.

We sealed the sheeting on the walls to the floor and ceiling with duct tape.  We also installed a blue zipper door in the far wall that will allow us to access items from the far wall of the garage.  If we didn't add this zipper, we would always have to open the garage door to access anything on the shelves against the far walls

Back of Paint booth. Inlet vents are at the top right of picture

The inlet vents are 20"x20" which allows us to sue standard home furnace filters.  On the backside of these vents, we installed an bottom board plus three eye hooks.  Bungee cords attach to these hooks to hold the circulation fans in place.  We tested the fans out and they work just fine. 

Two box fans added to the inlets

We installed a couple of hinges and hung a simple hollow core door on the near wall that will give us easy entry and exit to the paint booth, and we added some gasketing to improve the seal.  Didn't have enough gasket, so need to make another run to Home Depot to finish the job.   Hours: 10.0
