what you planning on putting in yours mate?

my attick is sweet like lol could fit a xl big bud grow tent up ther,,,i guess im just FUCKING lucky lmao,,nvermind the amount of cupbords built into the house we got shit i could have a perpetual grow one in each cupboard if i was
1..single
2.. not living in the middle of the ghetto lol
i was thinking a row of 2 plants sog but from the end of the house its about 1m free then the hatch, another 1m free, the chimney then 1m free. anything i do it wont work very well lol
my house is a 3 bed terraced house. its just the chimney thats fucking me up
Not sure yet depends on size and cost until the 1st 1 comes down then i'll change things as i go along, as soon as i get the keys i'll be up the attic having a look then making plans ideally i want room to run 2 600's and then i'll make a small mother and cloning area and use the sides for storage but 1st thing will be putting power up there then strengthening by running baton the opposite way to the joists before boarding so the ceiling doesn't sag. I might put a tent in there for the 1st 1 just to save time and build it up properly when the need isn't so great i should be in by 1st Sept so gotta get cracking for xmas
Never mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance or my kindness for weakness!
ya lucky bastard if that were mine I would have already converted it, I've converted a couple of attics so far and spent a small fortune along the way, the last house would have been ideal but the ceilings couldn't take the weight of the sterling board when screwing them to the joists and the spare bedroom ceiling come down, so that was the end of that, this one seems to be holding out ok for now, but still wouldn't fancy taking libertys with too much weight, It's surprising how much weight boarding out an attic adds I use either 3/4" or inch thick sterling (osb2) and then hang everything from the joists to help keep the weight on the floor down.

could you not use the 2m behind the chimney as a flower area and the rest for a small clone/mother area? the upside to the chimney breast where it is it'll make putting a curtain up easier and you still have a dark area when you open the hatch so as that you don't get obvious orange glow beaming down? just thinking out loud mate as it's hard to visualise without seeing it.

Defo sounds like you have a good plan mate, I never reinforced my floor and it's been playing on my mind, I'm just hoping the boards are spreading the weight, truth be told mate I had run out of money and just wanted to get it going, the ceilings here weren't great from the start due to loads of heavy boxes just being thrown up there and not placed on the joists so, so far there hasn't been any change in appearance apart from a couple of the plasterboard screws popped but I tapped them back in and filled over them, it's not just upstairs some of the plasterboard screws have popped in the living room aswell I think the job was done on the cheap, but it all helps me as nothing looks out of place and the ceilings look better now than they did when we moved in.

@3EYES should mention mine are running on 14" centres with a reinforced cross section so I boarded the 4 squares between the reinforced (load bearing beams) so should be fine for a good while atleast touch wood.

The only reason for strengthening is the house will be mine so if i fuck it up i got to fix it lol but i'm hoping i can generate some $ before i move but if all else fails i'll increase the cash back on the mortgage to get going
The white russian has been dispatched aswell so shouldn't be long now, also I ditched the other seeds I started they were dragging arse and I don't have the patience to be waiting on slow seedlings.
