So the room's about 8 months old now.. I haven't gotten around to it. Basically- here's how I built a room into the corner of my basement. It's almost just a wall at first glance now that it's finished. Inside I have a 600w MH/HPS.
Otherwise it's still pretty spartan.. and will probably get a 1000w MH/HPS to help out this summer- any setup ideas? I'm going to get an inline fan/filter to push through the hoods but w/ just 600w over the winter it didnt seem to need it at all.

Laying down the base for the room.

Now with vertical members to hold the ceiling/walls.

The ceiling I was talking about. I decided to use tarp to help seal the roof because that part of my basement (before I bleached it down) had some moisture/mold potential. And since the rest of the room could be sealed into cinderblock walls and the old wooden ceiling seemed.. iffy.. just made sense.

The ceiling in place with a couple new vertical members- I started sealing with NoGap foam at this stage.

Some plywood for the wallboard- cheap but effective.

Ducts installed for controlled ventilation.

Almost finished (the door can be seen drying in the doorway). I installed the door and weatherstripped the frame like a fridge door- the seal is great air/light wise. I also put a combo lock on it for shiggles

And a little fake sun.
I've finished one grow in here- so far effective.. but.. spartan as I mentioned. Anyone have any ideas for things for me to waste my time doing?
