[QUOTE="hoi_trance, post: 214069, member: 38752"] So as I put in my intro post, I plan on receiving my first three slings on the 28th. After much discussion with the wife, we decided upon them not being in the bedroom or on the main floor (our bedroom isn’t air conditioned and it gets insanely hot in summer and we have four, exceptionally curious and mischievous huskies that we don’t want to find them) This leaves the basement. It’s a 1940s house, so that means cinderblock walls down there. It stays relatively constant year round (I need to throw a digital thermometer and hydrometer down there to check ambients day and night) on the cooler side. As with most older conderblock basements, it has a few leaks as well when it heavily rains. Other mentions are it’s own collection of bugs and house spiders. Does anyone use a space like this, and if so what challenges have you tackled? My biggest concern is keeping it warm enough and keeping the humidity at an acceptable level not to mention not having the stray house spider decide my T’s look tasty. The main non utility side would be perfect for a t room, especially as I already use it for my DJ gear. Any help would be appreciated as the last thing I want is to make a critical error or overlook something. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
