* Build 4 end wall slabs that are 78" high by 32" wide. Included in this build are hinges that allow the end wall units to fold in like an accordion.  These can remain attached and provide a booth that is 72 inches deep.   
It is obvious that this needs to be easier for the novice to set up, as well as improving the exhaust air management.
* Provide a retractable roof.  There is a design using a roller or long weight to slide teh roof back at it is deployed.  
 
* replace Base unit poly with a more resilient fabric dropcloth.  I have purchased a 9' by 15' drop for this purpose.  all that is needed is to sew up an edge so that it will be resilient.  
The V2.0 of this is planned as follows:
* Build end wall slabs that allow them to remain attached to the base unit, as well as collapse for storage.  The proposal is to make 4 units that are 78" high by 32" wide.

* Alter the electrical to move the power switch to the inside of the booth, as well as an electrical outlet for lights.

* construct a floor sweep style air exhaust for porting the air from the booth to the outside.  The initial thought is to make some sort of HVAC type adaptor that takes the 12"x12" exhaust from the base unit fan, and adapt this to a 48"x3" low profile sweep that the door rests on.  There would also be 2 48"x3" door plugs that would allow this to plug the door when deployed.  The door is 12 feet wide.  Concept drawing is coming
