Need ideas for disguising water softner
Comments (7)Skypathway - we are unfortunatley the first ones with a complete home so guess our neighbors will have to learn from us, unless they were better at planning. A cute shed sounds like a possibility, any ideas ?? mjjones453 - wish we had a basement, but its not built around here. Too costly as we don't have to dig far on anything since the ground doesn't really freeze here. susieq07 - thanks for showing yours. I guess a shed of some sort would be a possibility like skypathway suggested. We need it enclosed and insulated.

Additionally more of the roots are exposed to the air making for a healthier plant. I've seen a couple different ways to do this including using wicks in the pots or special channels that can hold the pots at different heights, but for me the easiest thing to do is to lower the water level as the roots grow. I would start with a gentle angle and higher nutrient level, increasing the angle of the rail as I lowered the Nutrient level. I've also taken to starting some things in a DWC setup and move them to the rails as they roots get big enough....See MoreHow do I drywall around a drain pipe?
Comments (4)Remove the drywall and fur out the studs so that the drywall will fit. You might be able to get away with just furring two studs and letting the drywall bend a bit to bump out the wall a little in this area, but if you need a perfectly flat wall then you'll need to fur out every stud....See MoreBrewbeer
