The walls were first layed with a plastic sheet so less humidity would be lost. Next, the walls were line with closet cedar. I know I may hear it from some of you for that, but it actually is working out nicely and the smell is very soft, not overpowering at all.

I'm have a Holmes digital humidifier that holds abotu 2.5 gallons. For $50 , I'm happy with the purchase.

Some other pics may follow.

Thanks to all who gave me input and suggestions through the process.

And a HUGE thanks to my brother, Davey, who helped me build the whole thing on his vacation while visiting. We had fun and made great memories to "kick off" the new house. Love you , Day!

I have a question. Is that Western Cedar? Doesn't look like Spanish Cedar

That looks like aromatic western cedar? if so, your cigars flavors are going to be ruined...

I posted the above link on C&R under Grandpa's thread building his own humidor...

3-4 sheets of this would line your entire room

Had I found that site three months ago, I would have used that plywood. But, all the sticks are in their Cedar boxes and the Western Cedar doesn't have much scent to it. However, only time will tell if the Western Cedar will impart much or any flavor differences.

I've seen other sites for the Spanish Cedar and to use that was NOT in my budget.

Here's the cost breakdown of the whole humidor:

1. door: $150

2. Plastic sheeting: $10

3. Tile and grout: $35 (nice sale)

4. Cedar Panels: $230

5. Track Lighting: $35

6. Extra head for track: $6

7. Shelf brackets: $60

8. Wood for shelves: $30

9. Humidifier: $50

Total: $606

Having my own walk-in humidor..... priceless! LOL

I spent half that on all my other humidors put together!

Did you staple it to the old walls? (Were they drywall?)

How about the roof? What's the material and did you do anything about that?

Did you use any kind of sealant between the wall panels?

Looks like great work...really impressed and inspired for when I own a house someday. Thanks for being so willing to share.

I did not seal between each cedar panel. I tried to make them butt up against eachother and figured the plastic would help came the humidity in.

The ceiling just has a "popcorn" texture on it and is not sealed with anything.

Good luck, bro. Let us know how it turns out in the spring.

I hope you're wrong too, but I will give you all updates over the next year.
