Sooo, ever since I got off work today I've been working my butt off in the HOT sun building a new cage for Fry to play in outside.
Its 4'x4'x6'. I still have a lot of work to do, but I feel like it was a nice start for today.
This was just the frame. I used 2x4's and 4x4's. had to add a crap load of corner braces. Some heavy wood there...
An added support bar. I'm going to put a shelf on these.
And this is the where I stopped lol. I made a frame for the door and put it on 3 hinges. That wood for the door kept wanting to give out on me, but i said NO. lol. I added little snappy things(like for cabinets) on the bottom and top to keep it shut also. And a nifty handle for the front. Going to add a lock on the side of the door and the shelf for some little potted plants to go. The left over wood from the shelf will be made into a removable cover for the top. (it would be on top covering half the cage for shade)
Please tell me what you think! It was very, very hard lol. I'm afraid of chopping my fingers off all the time XD
Now I need to buy some wire and some type of sealant. Any suggestions for either? I wanted to get vinyl covered wire but it wasnt available 4ft long. Is it ok just to use metal? I'm going to paint it too. (before anything else) Stupid home depo wrote crap on half my wood. Me no likey.
