Hey guys, this is my first ever grow journal on this website. I've grown several times before but never documented it. Any who, This is a long tale so bear with me.
I started out with an idea to convert my old antique dresser that used to be my grandfathers' into a grow cabinet. Now I know this probably sounds disrespectful to some people, but it has sat in a closet for over two years and barely gets used. My Fiancee didn't want it out in the bedroom because it doesn't match our bedroom set. So I figured I might as well re purpose it into something that I love and make it useful. Here is the dresser originally in the closet.
From outside the closet.
Cleaned up a little.
Another shot close up.
And here's some measurements.
Then I started to break it down, taking out the drawers and such.
The levels inside were a pain in the ass to take out. It was here that I started to feel guilty. Reason being is because I could tell this was great craftsmanship and it probably took a while to put together. This isn't any old dresser you get from "Rooms to Go" or "Ashley Furniture Store". But I kept going, seeing as I'd already taken it somewhat apart.
