bassn1 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I started in the basement with a $15 home Depot bathroom fan that vented to the outside. My wife still complained about the smell so I built a 30x36 pole shed and partitioned 15' of it for a shop. Still use the same fan. Now she complaines that I spend to much time in my shop!!!

outdooradvantage Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Sometimes I pour in my kitchen like you do loco. I turn on my range fan and get all my ceiling fans going and if it is not to cold outside I may even open a door a little. So far my wife has'nt complained about the smell.............

bhorlings Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I pour in the basement with ventilation out to a window. So far I am only using a 4" dryer vent that I have to squish to fit in the window. Come spring though I am going to put a 6" vent to the outside. Wife said I had to replace the vent on the actual dryer come spring so I am going to split use that as my excuse to upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Basement/ small fan in window above pouring area. She complains more about my pipe smoke than fumes. Guess they're the same to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I have a 12' x 24' shop on the side of my barn. Used to be a horse stall(previous owner). I have two windows that I open on good days as well as a hood fan. The shop has electric heat and is insulated. First time I poured(1991), I did it in the basement using old plastic (smokey). I only did it once and then I was informed by the sergent at arms that if I did that again I would be sleeping in the basement. Moved the pouring to the barn the next day. lol Like many here, if I spend too much time in the shop, I hear about it. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longhorn Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I pour in my shed...which is a rented 12x30 where I keep my boat and all my "stuff". It has a door on each end so I can always get cross ventilation for fume removal. No matter where you pour I recommend a good respirator...those fumes are bad news.

Joe S. Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I have a small shed/ workshop, has a large window in the front, I cook right below it with a fan blowing out the window. Cold in the winter Sometimes it's in the teens out there:( It's in the background there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolinamike Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I do the hand pours in a 12 x 9 concrete building right outside my back door. The big stuff, I do in a large garage separate from the house. It's a 20 x 28 concrete block building with a finished 20 x 20 work space. Here's some pictures of the hand pour operation.

MONKEYqpHUNTER Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 i also started in the kitchen but was in fear the fumes were not being vented well enough away from the kids.so i bought a 10x14 shed with 7 ft walls.now the point of the high walls was so i could build a loft for storage.gave me plenty of wall to build a hood and run the hose through the wall and still have a place for a air conditioner. the real reason for the loft was to get the wife to go along with the plan it worked great she was all for more storage.she does say it wasnt ment for storeage of me for 5 hours a day lol.so i ran satalite,a phone and the computer,and put a lil fridge out there.now i can hang out there all day lol i love it.
