Wow. It sure is impressive to see someone give that much thought to a tortoise set-up. It makes my new RF addition look like a pup tent!
This thread takes my breath away! I love the elaborate enclosures that some forum members are able to construct. Your property is fantastic. I've been to your website

Very nice work, Kelly!

Very nice, you are always doing big thangs all for a good cause. You are probably like me and dont sleep alot at night
Haha pretty much.
Insulated all the walls today and started sheathing the inside. Also insulated the floor.
I used 1" thick tongue and groove R5 for the floor then put a layer of the zip system sheathing. It's water resistant and it painted with a vapor barrier chemical on it. So it sheds water, moisture and seals things in better than traditional plywood.
About 4 hours later and all seams are caulked and vapor barrier tape sealed.

Well my favorite thing (NOOOOOOOT) is completed. Insulated the ceiling and now continuing to cover the walls. Should hopefully have walls and ceilings covered with siding and paint this weekend.

LOVE IT!!
This is definitely what I would be doing with my time if I were not working full-time and going to school part-time. Hmm, but maybe when I retire...? I love it and I can't wait to see more! <3

It's built better than MY house. Forget about comparing it to my tortoises homes.
Lol. Yeah my mom said she's going to hang a hammock in there and live. She said the same thing about the greenhouse.
But when you go in there with temperatures and humidity like this all the time. It's hard to stay in there. Closed chamber on a massive scale. Lol

We can get to negative 30 or 40 with the windchill here so I dunno.... If you have a tortoise with long brown hair in the next few months don't be surprised!
Haha. Well ok every other week is boiled egg day in there
Well all the walls are covered in siding and the seams trimmed. Got some paint on clearance (Clarence haha) at Home Depot, started painting. Next weekend should have the ponds put in and add the mulch for the big guys. Have to get the glass ordered for the smaller enclosures that will be on top of the shelf.
