Wife gave the OK for a humi in the house

[CrnrPokt]

Hi all,

my wife just gave the OK for me to build a humi in the house. I dont need anything large so I figured maybe floor to roof (approx 8 ft tall) and 4-5 ft wide with about 3 ft deep, now those dimensions can surely change depending on my mood and hers - but I dont want to get any smaller than that so Better watch the budget.

Does anyone have suggestions for the initial setup?
What type of air tight materials to use?
What should I put between the cement wall (if anything) and my back wall of the humi to keep the cold away?
Should I use insulation in the walls?
What type of ventilation/humidification setup?


I have never built 1 before so I dont know about this yet. Would really appreciate any and all input - especially from those who have built them.

TIA!!!!

Look at atuck's Project Walk-In tread.
It should give you some idea.

Good luck on your humidor!~

I'll try and find the rest of the pictures of this project. Here's one pic of just the shelving....

Found a few more pics HERE that might give you some ideas to work with.

I'm so glad you didn't need to go large, corner! :sign:

That's a damned nice cabinet, sir! I would not have considered the rippled glass. Nice touch.
