So as some of you know, I'm relocating Simba to the living room
Here's where his enclosure will end up (TV being moved obviously to leave space behind open)
OH and I have decided to use the unit which his enclosure sits on now as a base
Floor space will be approx 37" x 24".
Overall height will be around 80" (yes I'll need a set of ladders to put the lights on top LOL!) Hoping to get a hood which holds the UV light and the basking bulb.
So less the base which is 29" high, his living space
will be 37"x24"x30" approx. So a fair bit of space there for him there
The back will be solid wood with a waterproof foliage image stuck to it. Top, sides and front will be wooden frames with mesh. All waterproofed of course!
For drainage, will get a plastic board to sit on the frame of the sides and back. Hole in the middle and hole in the 'table top' with some sort of funnel going from the plastic down into a tube which will run into the base below and into the water butt
Weight of plants will push plastic down a little in the middle to ensure excess water goes where it should go 
Going to bring the doors on the base forward and put wood effect sticky back plastic on the glass so you can't see inside the unit.
Will have the drainage water butt in there, as well as all of his 'stuff'; feeders, equipment etc. and probs the reservoir for the MistKing I'm hoping to get for him.
So our lights don't disturb him on a night, going to put a rail at the very top of the wall, to bring a curtain right across the front of the enclosure, making it nice and dark for him in there.
Going to take a bit of time to put together I reckon, but hubby well up for a bit of DIY so bring it on!!! LOL
Will keep you posted on progress of course
