Just remember to leave yourself maintenance access areas and you'll be fine. Waterproofing shouldn't be that difficult. I have seen it done many times and there are numerous options. If i were smart enough to post a link from another forum on my phone, i'd link you to a couple good build threads, but alas, i am dumb when it comes to my smartphone.....lol i have yet to do one in that style, but i'm still relatively young, so if you have any questions ask away......lol
Bill,
You're funny
That's a great article!
What size tee shirt are you ?

My plant lights are really simple- suspended from the basement ceiling ( 48" - plain-jane "plant " fluorescent bulbs ) and two screw base Philips... in 2 cheap Home Depot clamp domes. Works great...it's in the basement. So the only person looking at it is me ! All the equipment ends up being an "electrical danger zone !"

Heath,
You must be excited ! What project ! I am thinking the biggest challenge is lighting and drainage?
The electrical parts of the wiring will have to be protected form the constant humidity. If put behind glass it would block some of the light.
If put behind screen it would have to be in an appropriate fixture to withstand the moisture. And then there is the possibly of heat from the bulbs. (depending what you choose). But -- I'm sure you have considered all of this. There must be solutions. Do you know any electricians? Have you considered having glass cut for the interior walls for waterproofing? So many different ways to approach it!

Any news on tee shirts ?
