Okay, so here is an update. "Puck" has been renamed Stanley, and I (Kady) am buying him from my younger brother. So once we decided I could take over, I began looking on craigslist for a Crossfire style viv. I have been wanting to convert an old dresser into a viv, or make a Crossfire for a while, but I knew how expensive materials would be. But then, I found an ad for a Crossfire on craigslist for sale about an hour away from my house! I got the price down to $100, so my dad and I took his truck to pick it up. It was exactly what I wanted! Solid wood, great craftsmanship, in great shape. When I handed the woman my money, she shook her head and said, "keep it. I wasn't planning on accepting money for this, I wanted to give it away for free all along."
:shock:
My mouth dropped. Here is this stranger, basically handing over this beautiful Vivarium over to me, FOR FREE. There is hope for humanity! I've got three jobs this summer so I can afford college this coming fall, and I threw a garage sale that morning to raise enough money to buy the vivarium. She doesn't know how much of a blessing that was.
Once I got home, I stained the interior of the viv and sealed it, and then installed slate tile flooring. After 48 hours of airing out, Stanley is all moved in, and loving it!
