After almost a year of gathering components and taking up space in our apartment, Feargan's Palace is FINALLY DONE!
(Minus extraneous external decorating; money sucks.)
This is pretty much what sat in our dining room for most of a year:
Parts were gathered and gracious birthday gifts were bestowed and so work finally resumed
:
Rough plans for the viv:
(My wonderful girlfriend demonstrating just how huge the new viv really is.)
Adding the screen:
Screen and top components in place:
Wiring the light fixtures and a dimmer switch to control them into the open space in the florescent fixture:
Light fixtures and their base installed:
Track added and screen securing strips installed:
Plexiglass testing:
After quickly slapping together some temporary furniture; light and temperature testing:
In place and preparing for move in:
ALL DONE!
