Just had to show off my new drying rack I built yesterday it consits of 12 2' x 3' trays covered in aluminum screen it has a bottom shelf that can be fitted with a piece of glass for any keif that falls off I have to get that cut still. For everything it only cost $120 by my guess I could get at least a lb on each tray. I use my bedroom for drying it is nice I won't have anything hanging above my head anymore.

but a ball of string costs only a buck and a half and will dry a lot more than that...but string isn't near as pretty as your racks.

I did that for a while if I had a dedicated room it would be fine but over my bed sucked it would fall in the middle of the night and the hairs all over it was lame.

I have a 9000 btu ac in each of my rooms with a 50 pint dehumidifier I run sealed syestem I did have to switch to bottled co2 instead of the generater so that is costing me too I figured the next 2 months it will run me about $450 per room per cycle for co2 and I just got a $1115 sdge bill so in all an extra $750 a month more than normal sucks I use to live by the beach I never even ran an ac all summer

Very nice do-it-yourself rack! (Never thought I'd tell a dude he had a nice rack!)

I use the string-and-safety-pin method myself, because I'm a cheap, lazy bastid. Of course, I don't have, and will never have, 12 pounds to dry. ;)
