Vlad (the impala) Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 if you go the td160 route, sealed into a top compartment, with some deadening ducting, with the doors shut, you'll have to listen hard for it over normal background noise.....if you then have your lights on time during the night, if you have a "visitor" for a few minutes during the day, just knock the fan off for a while!

Dohped Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 cheers buddy lights are indeed off during the day for the heat more than anything. nice tip with the carpet, got plenty of that since we just bought a house. what exactly have you used to wedge your fan with m8? you can buy the foam that manufacturers make couches out of from the market, that is what i meant, it would be fitted into the box and glued down but i strongly agree with the fire hazard worry.

Vlad (the impala) Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 used a chunk of foam that was "lying about" - fairly dense ordinary furniture type stuff - cut it to about twice the thickness that you'll want it to be when compressed - that's tight enough to hold it, but not too tight so the vibes start travelling!

Vlad (the impala) Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 keep your eyes open, you'll find somewhere in town selling it..........a craft shop, or some old-fashioned hardware stores keep it (you want a piece to make a seat cushion if anybody asks!)

Dohped Posted August 5, 2004 Author Share Posted August 5, 2004 too bloody right m8, i throw nothing away!! finally the answer to my space related lightproofing problems came to me like an epiphany last nite. there i was armed with microsoft powerpoint (growroom design software, seriously) and a tape measure, furiously trying to figure out how to make all of this fit now, as the tank for the nft currently makes the hardboard doors bow in the middle, could not for the life of me figure out how to do it all and then BAM!! the wardrobe is already 2 inches away from the wall due to the skirting board, so why not capitalise on that....... move the drobe 6 inches away from the wall, pop off the back panel and make some adjustments and wahay, extra 6 inches floorspace. allowing me to put in a nice big piece of chipboard as my internal door. (which i already had.....recycling again ) i am going to slant the battoning so that the "door" leans against it, and the weight of the chipboard will do the rest (its 18mm thick!!!) putting a wardobe into an alcove extends it's possibilities like you wouldnt believe. as nobody can see the back of the drobe i don't even have to make the panelling match. happy happy joy joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
