Well it took about 4 days for the smell to disappear, then I heated the room up to 80 degrees and my God did the smell come back with a vengeance. Took another 2 days of airing out and heating up the room to finally get it to acceptable levels.
So the few times I've heated the room up, I noticed I was losing heat at a way faster rate than I imagined for a super insulated room. Well my weakest points would be the windows and the door, each having R values under 10. Windows being a much bigger problem in the winter months. So I decided to do something about that.
Foam board with fiberglass insulation glued to it.
And just press fitted in the window.
And I gave the door a little extra also.
Did the base molding earlier also, really makes it start to seem finished.
And now that I have all that done, its time to do another test run. Humidifier running this time also. While I don't see the probe being a problem, I wanted to temporarily put it up and make sure everything works as intended before I do something a little more permanent. Have to check temps around the room tomorrow and see how we did. While I still have more to do (finishing the sink being the biggest one), I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Little more touch up paint and I might move the animals in
