How I gained 6 inches and made it smell better

Since fishing season is a bust, had to work on to problems with my grow space. Not enough height and in flower the back yard had a smell. I had a four inch system tucked away and the thought was to just increase the filter to a 6 inch. Should of measured the space first, so now have to have a new plan.

Gaining 6 inches required changing wheels on the roll out and changing totes to a wider short tote.
More to come, sorry I'm bored waiting on the storm and fishing season being a total bust.

Very sorry to hear that. (The fishing part) We've got a decent bite going on of 40-80lb bluefin and some smaller yellowfin. Dorado are beginning to show in the counts as well. Offshore Mexican waters. But gaining 6 inches without bending, well, that's impressive.
 
Gave the old girl a fresh coat of flat white paint (All I had on hand). Fans were always in the way last year with the tumble weed grows, so used a length of PVC and mounted fans so they will be recessed. Will mount a second smaller length at the front or on the side. Changed out 4 inch filter, 6 inch would not fit in space and need to redesign or add to existing. More to follow.

Hahaha. Lol. I should have copyrighted this before I made it public domaine. Scented pumps for a stank jockey. Lol
 
You did better than most, you were lying about an extra half inch instead of an extra half foot.😊
 
Updates finished, gained a little more room
Hopfully took care of the odor problem
Moved multi strips out of the way
Moved Fans...
Repainted and sterilized everything with 45% vinegar (Stinks like hell but who the heck can find the good Peroxide )

Box is ready for "Batter up" now to work on the new Totes.

Bored out my gourd with no fishing......

The first hole I drilled when learning to build a tote was rough or jagged around the edges like one you pictured. I used the spade bit on the left in the picture. I found with a piece of wood under where I drilling and using a spade bit like the one on the right in my picture it cut a much cleaner hole. The 2 keys to cutting clean hole were the board to help keep bit located and the little tips on outer edge of the spade bit which cut the outer edge of hole before removing the majority of plastic your removing.
