I found a pic in the reptiles magazine that I liked. I made a few changes to the plan and the pic as I only did three boxes, and I made mine larger, plus I didn't have a router to do the boxes with so I nailed on the bottoms of the boxes. (Actually I should say hubby did, he built it and I will stain it.)
Anyways it is all done except for the stain...
The first of three boxes.. I used 1"x 12" sides and 3/4" plywood for bottom.
Next the supports to hold up the three boxes... I used 4x4's and notched out 12" x 3/4" every 12" if that makes sense??
Then we put the three boxes on one side of supports...
Then the other side supports and we screwed the boxes to the supports and it is built.
All that is left now is the stain, I used water based....
EJ if you used something different for stain will you let me know.. I chose water based polyurathane because it has less odor.
