I was going to post this in enclosures, but wasn't sure if it fit there even though it is about an enclosure...hope that made sense.
I really don't like Charlie's enclosure. I liked it when I had it fixed up, but then I had to remove the customs I did as it turned out not to be safe for him. I would LOVE to build him a 4x2x2 feet enclosure - here is my problem - my health. I have MS and my husband has Parkinson's. I've been too physically tired to do the work even though I know how to do it. I've been looking online at enclosures and - well - they are not cheap in Canada, plus the taxes and expense of shipping.
I would really love ideas on how to get or build him something that size that would destroy my bank account (any more than it already is!). I've already got some things for it - I have a T5 bulb fixture (that plugs in!) and the bulb (different from the T8s he has now). Actually I have everything for it except the actual built, water proof enclosure. I bought self-adhesive self liner that looks like marble (nice dark grey/black) to line the walls with and I have tile for the bottom.
Is there someplace that does custom cutting? If I could get the boards cut, I can piece it all together (I hope). I'd love to build up rocks and stuff for him...I have done that before and there's no rush.
Hmmm...sorry, I'm kind of putting this out here for ideas, and partly to tell myself I can do it, I just need to get the wood and sealants and vent. :silent: I don't know. I wanted it done a month ago and I have yet to get it done and now the holidays are here.
Thanks for reading my vent.
