: If you build it in the basement, don't forget to wall off the area with some
: plastic. Then make a board to fit in that window, cut a hole in the board
: and install one of those small office fans in it. That's what I did and it
: has plenty of power to make negative pressure in the room to keep the
: sanding dust and epoxy fumes out of the rest of the house. I actually open
: the plastic up a bit to get the air to flow outside.

If I need a fan to exhaust the epoxy fumes outside, I might need to rethink this a bit. I was planning to do this as a mid-winter (i.e. January and February) project and around here (Winnipeg, Canada) it gets bitchin cold that time of year. Like freeze your balls off cold. It's not unusual for the whole winter to be -25°C for weeks on end. And then there's the wind. My whole house has to be airtight and I need those triple pane argon filled window panes to insulate the place.

This could become an October or April project.
