Good Luck
My problem is I live in an apartment and I'm sure my landlord wouldn't be too happy with me taking out the carpet. I would if I could. Thinking about doing the flowhood thing, I have the cash to build it, I just need to get motivated enough to do it.
Build it !!

A few tips of advice.
Basements are terrible places for any mycological work, unless it's a newly renovated basement apartment I don't suggest you make attempts to expose anything to open air 
If you are preparing your own spore syringes I suggest you check your sterility procedures, you can use the hobo syringe method by unfolding the print (if on foil) and placing it into a small baggy and directly filling the bag with pre-sterilized and cooled water by just opening one small corner of the bag and resealing to swoosh the spores off the foil.
As for jar inoculation do what has been suggested, build yourself a nice glovebox, if you put the money out for it now you greatly reduce future contamination. A glovebox is a must in this hobby. You can scrub and clean your apartment furiously but it still wont solve the problem, as soon as you open a window there will be millions of spores re-released into your apartment so if I were you, I'd forget that idea.
It doesn't hurt to clean though :p
Another suggestion is to check your filter material and to fasten the rings tightly, never leave them loose then tighten them once you take the jars out, keep them tight at all times, use a double layer of foil, lots of oust and try to avoid introducing any mycology related tool to open air.

I may have some words of advice. Think of everything in the glove box as contaminated. Think of everything as if it is contaminated with bacteria or mold spores. I would clean the inside of the box with a ten percent bleech salution. then add your materials , clean the outside surface of all the materials, jars ect . its important to change your gloves after you setup for the procedure. inoculate with freah sanitized gloves . your goal is to create a clean working envoronment.. another main goal is to reduce air flow to your work. so no mold spores or bacteria blow into your work environment... and one last tip. if useing any flamable chemicals do not flame the needle inside the box. ! i had a whole afternoon of comidic entertainment reading posts of people blowing up their glovebxes. mmost of the time with their arms inside.

While speaking of gloveboxes.... Problem with most homemade tub gloveboxes: They are a pain to work with, just not ergonomic.
So I dream about this cool box Stamets presents on page 19 of TMC

I gather you could put this box on a table and go to work.
Really have to do this....

It's reading threads like this that I'm sooo glad my lovely wifey lets me have a lab in our own brand new (first ppl living in it) house. Of course, hopefully she's sooo glad that I have a cool hobby like this. If not, she fakes it pretty well when we're enjoying the fruits of my labor.

I had nothing but problems till I found a post about bleach and vinegar. 1 cup bleach, 1 gal water, 1 cup vinegar. Mix the bleach and water and then add the vinegar. I use a glove box in the bedroom on a desk. After I pc the grains and they cool, I put the jars in the glove box and spray the inside and outside of the GB with the solution. During a 15 minute period I take a shower, put on a fresh cotton long sleeve shirt, rubber gloves and a hat. I light the alcohol lamp, wipe my gloves with some alcohol and begin inoculation. No contams with this method. Make sure to use a lot of this solution. Spray jars and the entire inside of box. Also the key is that you let it soak for at least 15 min before you begin inoculation.

I have a small bathroom that I remove everything from and then dual wield cans of lysol and bomb the fuck out of the room and then immediately inject. I can survive this thanks to a special mask i happen to have

I'm starting to think this might be myc cause the first set of jars i have quarantined were knocked up on the 23rd and are about 80% colonized plus they are producing heat, I can feel the warmth when I pick them up. If it was cobweb, it would have been fully engulfed by now, correct? the second set was knocked up on the 25th and are at about 30% or so colonization. The growth is very cottony thats why I thought it was cobweb but I was doing some reading last night and read that some strains, especially from MS, not a strong isolate, can have growth that is very cottony. These are all 1 quart WBS jars incubated at room temp (75F or so). BTW, every jar is infested with trich so I won't use them. I am just hoping that I have my cobweb problem solved, just gotta work on the mean green.
