Well just the sides, substrate and lighting to add. The dimensions are 4' x 2'.
We have a custom made baby tort hut, a few walk around barriers, and a home made 3 pot plant holder (left rear). The plan is for the basking light to be above the lower left. The lower right is a feeding area. In front of the right feeding area barrier is the water dish. Next to the ramp to the hut is a secondary feeding area to induce the grazing habits. On the left will be a 36" light fixture to assist in habitat warmth as well light to help grow plants. I plan on having a 3" to 4" substrate base of soil and moss with moss solely in the hut. There is also enough room under the hut for another hide.

Your getting there! Is that a little surf board up by the cute little shack?

Love it . Can't wait to see it finished. One thing though. I think I would use the bottom side of the tiles. The slick surface of the smooth side won't help much on the beak and may be too slippery for the tort to walk in, which he will. Just a suggestion.
