A few updates on my time machine.. I'm close .. just waiting on the jigsaw to arrive so i can cut my two 6" holes for intake exhaust of AC respectively.
you can use 1/2 or 3/4 just make sure to put supports in or it will sag, use vertical support in the middle like in the 2nd pic, and a cross member in the middle,(across the top) gives good stability
I love this build sneaky. Props for a decent sized budget minded set up. This is probably closest to what I'm planning. Only real difference is I'm gonna have 2 4x4 tables on wheels. I just have to finish up this work contract and move back to the US.
yeah unfortunately i had a bad morning.. I tried to drill a drain hole through the 1x2 and into the metal frame of the bottom of my ac.. so that i could catch the condensation.. and I hit the copper refrigerant line..
Needless too say my hardwork and money ended up in the garbage.
The next time I do one of these I'll make sure to drill my drain holes BEFORE I have the thing completly built and assembled...
live and learn =/ .. gonna go see if i can find a 10k btu window banger for around 300-400 bucks tommorow and do another.. I might modify the sheet metal and go with something slightly better, but other than that i'll still use the same cheap 1x2s to frame the exhaust.. but this time i'll be adding a 6" inline duct fan 200 CFM.. 28 bucks at home depot. I've heard that the ac's run more efficient when the exhaust isn't obstructed.
fire up those lamps at night like 9pm-9am way easier to combat heat at night, also if i was you i would add a third light i would stick a 600 MH right in the middle of the two 1000's, the mixed spectrum would kick ass in a setup like this
