[QUOTE="osbergtm, post: 2024826, member: 117292"] I hate to make such a long post, but I want to make sure I go about my project the right way. I am planning on converting an entertainment center for my beardie "Lizzy Lizardton." I've already removed the upper shelves and replaced the cardboard backing with plywood. I also sealed the seams/joints with silicone. I'm planning to paint the interior surfaces with Drylok to ensure it's waterproof. Then I plan to use foam insulation board on the floor, both sides, and the back wall. I noticed another member used sanded grout to coat their foam insulation, so I figured I'd use it as well. I purchased 1/8" sliding tracks and plan on using 1/8" acrylic for the sliding doors. There will be two vents installed on the back wall for ventilation. For lighting, I have an Arcadia UVB light fixture with reflector that will span nearly all the way across the top of the enclosure. I also purchased the 150 watt basking bulb from PetSmart, and planned to install some logs/branches from a mulberry tree we cut down for him to bask on. My questions are: 1. Would it be safe to use the entertainment center if I seal it with the Drylok and cover the interior with the foam insulation and sanded grout? (I'm pretty sure it composite board - the stuff that soaks up water like a sponge) 1a. How many coats of Drylok should I apply? 2. Would it be okay to add branches (no leaves) from the mulberry tree we recently cut down? If so, is there anything I need to do to prep the wood? 3. If I use the sanded grout to coat the foam insulation, do I need to seal it with anything? If so, what should I use? [ATTACH type="full" width="335px"]81051[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
