A J,

Here are a few photos of my set up. It's in the basement, what you folks call the cellar. You can accomplish this set up anywhere near a window, or if you have access to the loft, then it's a matter of creating a vent hole through to the outside. The hood vent is standard issue for most stoves, the vent hood has 2 halogen lights built in, which combined with the secondary lights and the white paint jobs gives you plenty of illumination. Hook up 8" heating ducting and seal it with foil duct tape (has to be HVAC foil). The exhaust vent outside the house is a pre-fab vent/cover-in-one, (so the rain/snow wont get it). My wife says you Britons can find it at any D.I.Y. (do it yourself) stores, similar to our Home Depot and Rona's here in Canada. For the electrical, we spliced it using a grounded extension cord. I've had this set up now for 2 years and I've noticed a huge difference, I'm not high as a kite, sfter a 3 hour session anymore....

A J.... one more thing, tell your wife that you could be doing far worse things with your spare time, ( using the oppposition at a local football game for dart practice comes to mind....

and by the way, my loving wife not only purchased all of the above, but built it for me!!!! She says, that if you pay for her airfare, she will be more than willing to come over and build it for you, she'll even buy you a pint of your favourite.........
