Make it a fun challenge to spend as little as possible to furnish it with things others have discarded with no idea of their value.

Be sure these are relatively new. Get the production date if you can. I got burned in one purchase. The silicone was too old. I used HPS for my fittings.

Honestly, I would give the local Alison guys a call. Might be insightful.
