Gonzalo's 'Room' ... progress

[djwang]

This was supposed to be a simple - "slap 5 pieces of MDF together and throw a sliding door in front" -- but then we wanted it to be 72" long and that meant it would no longer fit on the cabinet we wanted to use. So... need to build a cabinet, and if we're going to do that, may as well build the beardie room to match...

So, the design:



Base, stained/nearly completed:


and in place (doors still to be made):


Various stages of construction of Gonzalo's room:

with the top off:


final sanding:


and tonight's work - 2nd coat of stain:




More to come...

A couple of more lighting/wiring updates:

Box for a plug (because of the size of the enclosure, I'll have some LED ambient lighting):


4 gang box for timers (heat lamps/UV fluorescent):





Basking light fixtures:


Let there be light!!


Next steps:
- Installing the LED lighting and fluorescent fixture

- Finishing the cabinet door and the door for the top of the enclosure
- Flooring
