Looks like a winner. I just don't have any windows in the basement walls...just a 9' x 7' OHD. But, there's always the possibility of putting a window and/or door in the south wall. Thanks for sharing.

These are all good examples and points. The crux of my concern, though, remains the brand and model of a system to install and whether one system is good enough versus 2 systems for different results. 4,457cf of dedicated space is a lot to consider.

That's a good case in point and enforces my concerns about the efficiency of dust collection systems and air infiltration systems. Another idea could be to place a large box fan at the 3'4" opening of the back room, pointed toward the OHD and force air circulation to the outside. Then too, I could ...

Dust collection and air cleaning
