Today I’m going to try and cut some pvc sheets for the bottom for the cage. I finally caved and bought a jig saw to help cut stuff. I’m hoping to be able to add the foam wall some time this week. I’m liking the way the walls have turned out so far fingers crossed I don’t mess this up​

This is a neat idea, what are you doing for drainage?

I’m planning on buying one of these trays to put under the cage to catch the water

I’ve bought one of those before, and they’re sooooo much taller and hold more stuff than any substrate/drainage tray I’ve ever had before!

Hello every, so there was a huge storm in my area so I haven’t been able to get to my garage. I was a able to get some work done, I ended up buying this plastic bin from target that dimensions are 35.87”inches (L), 13.75” inches (h), and 16.65” inches (w).

I cut the top half of the bin off so that it will fit snug in the shelving unit. I’m going to get edge trim to put along the lip of the bin to clean it up a bit.

Just waiting for the trim and the hydro clay balls to come in so I can continue on. Why didn’t I just buy a cage lol

I think the trim makes it look a lot cleaner now. I’m waiting for my drainage layer to come in then I should be ready to start the build and yes I know it’s crooked

I got it off Amazon, I bought the 10 foot trim and it fit perfect around the lip of the plastic. I forgot to link this in the other post

I’m really tired today, I worked all day on the cage and sterilizing branch’s and bark. I started the foam wall yesterday, I still need to do one more wall then do some touch ups b4 I start to carve the foam down. Disclaimer: I did us duck tape on the cage so that I could attach the clear window film. I know duck tape is bad and I’m making sure to make sure it’s not at all in the inside
