My brother and I decided that since we have had major bad luck this past summer for outdoor growing, we would try our hand at indoor growing. So we chose a location in the earth part of his basement and everything went from there.
The basement was divided by a half wall with pillars every 4 foot or so. So we busted out one of the half walls in the center of the wall and decided to wall it up and put in a hidden door in this area. Between the pillars here it is about 6 feet or so. I initially wanted to put in a sconce light and use it to unlock the door to allow it to open, but I just could not get it to work without fabricating some sort of metal pieces that would allow the sconce to turn without binding against the door, and pull two cables/chains and compress the two springs in the locks. So I changed it up some and we have a functioning lock and it is all hidden. We have had people in the basement since who never asked twice about the wall and door. Attached are pix of the door as it was being built and after.

The concrete side is mainly storage, allonf with an area for washer and dryer and an area for dog grooming and outdoor gardening and what not. More pix:

From the point of the last pic, it took me a little while to get a door on the grow box, and to figure an actual locking system for the main hidden door. I did not want to go with a locking system that could be accessed from the outside of the doot such as how I settled on being able to pull the chain from outside, but as it sits right now, thats about the only way I can do it. I want to get a nice magnetic lock to put on the door so it can be opened electronically, and no one would be able to find the way in.

Two post back.... there is a pic of shelves.... there are in front of the half wall, I had to go behind them and board them all up so no one could see into the earth are of the basement.
In the below pix... the area where the stack of bricks are at is where I intend on building a veg box with 6 4 foot floros in it. I havent started on it, but thats why I took the pic.

This is the duel thermometer with duel probes. I have one probe on the top of the soil to get a temp reading there, and the other is in a seedling, but will go into the veg box once it gets built.
