Plant Room Construction
After a false start several years ago and having a heaving problem with my basement floor, the construction of my plant room has begun! The adventure is being recorded in my album here.
Plant Room Construction - Orchid Board Galleries
We had to pull out the entire 1370 sq ft concrete floor and install an interior weeping tile system to deal with a high ground water problem. Our plans grew include enlargement of windows, relocation of our laundry facilities, upgrade to and relocation of a boiler system, installation of in-floor heating and replacement of all our sewer lines. Since we are going whole-hog on this one, I thought the plant room needed to be re-visited.
Here is the rough in for the floor drain and a larger shot of the room area.

Nice! I'm in the middle of my own basement growing room construction, but it isn't nearly as sophisticated as yours!

The groundworks inspection was approved by our city inspectors, although they were a little concerned/confused by the use of a trough drain in a residential application. We have the insulation down and the rebar is tied.

Hey everyone, been a bit behind posting, so let's catch up....
#1 insulation and hydronic lines installed. I did not put any heat loops in the plant room floor.
#2 top and bottom plates laid out before walls built.
#3 closer look at the 9' floor drain. It is made with 3 interlocking sections of 3' each.
