Keep in mind it has to be heated. I would try to keep the lights and che hidden in the top by placing a 1x6 band across the front up top and work down from that point. The floor should be no more than 24" from the bottom of the 1x6 band for heating purposes 18" would be better. This will give you an 18" view of his daily escapades, lol! This also allows for fun with decorating.CaptainAmerica90":1nv0vtwd said:This is what I have to start with and have many ideas but keep seeing different things and being told other. There are 2 shelves that fit in but not sure if I should use one or both. Literally going by ear.
