Choose the height to be above the top of your sink. You could also use 3/4 plywood in the stud spaces. 4) Add at least two outlets and I would suggest two pair that are separate 15 amp circuits on the breaker box to isolate timers, color heads, cold light heads, and what have you. 5)Floor the room with either marine plywood or other material that is water resistant. You will eventually cover the floor with vinyl or tile. Something that is easily wet mopped to eliminate dust. I suspect the standard sub-floor is orientated strand board which is not ideal for a place that will get wet. 6)Leave the window as you will use the space to locate an exhaust fan to eliminate chemical fumes. I think that is the major stuff that needs to be covered in construction. Don dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
