Liamm's New Home (Under Construction!)

[JonCoffey]

Hey guys, I've decided that instead of buying another tank, and putting a few rocks in there isn't going to cut it, for me at least. I want to be creative, and create a realistic, awesome environment for Liamm. So; I want to put a lot of great features, but limit the spending as much as possible. Here's a few ideas I've gotten so far.

Buying a local Entertainment Stand / TV Stand. Found quite a few on Craigslist, and my favorite one; only $15 and it's in the same neighborhood.

Instead of ordering a ton of rocks and other objects, I live near a Hobby Lobby. I've thought of getting clay, and crafting a few of my own little caves an such.

For the flooring, I really disapprove on using sand, or anything similar. I'll probably get some tiles, lay one layer of tiles on the bottom, than break into pieces, so it's somewhat a rough-terrain.

Almost everything I'd need to put inside; will be bought at Hobby Lobby. They're much cheaper than Petsmart, and I get the enjoyment of creating everything myself, plus it's for a much lower price.

Here's the current layout I'm thinking of;

Will try to update this thread daily. Please give me suggestions, and/or ideas!

I was also thinking about doing something similar with a book shelf of something like that... One lady did it on here with a china cabinet and it came out great.
I also found many cheap peices of furniture on craigslist. Please keep us updated.
I found a guy near me that builds custom enclosures he said it would be about 200-350 for what I wanted. I am still trying to figure out if I want to let someone else do it or if I would save lots of money doing it myself.
How much do you think this will cost you?

Honestly, I'm not too sure how much it's gonna cost. I'd expect around $200-300 for the things I want to do. Maybe less, maybe more. It really depends how well I do the mechanics, if I can do them at all. If not, that's gonna the price bumper. I'll keep updated on what's going on.
