Okay so I finally got it built! I just need to decorate, but wanted to let you see it so far. The enclosure is 4x8x2' tall. I have 4 light fixtures and one 4ft flourescent light. I also have a sprinkler system set up with 4 sprinklers for misting. These hoses are attached to a 2 gal hand pump dispenser so the enclosure can be misted without needing to be opened each time. There are sliding doors on the back that I have attached linolium to (did not have them in for pictures since I am working on the inside yet), and there will be plexi glass sliding doors in the front.

It is on a wheeled stand that is almost 4 ft tall with a shelf on the bottom which I plan to eventually build an open box for my greeks. Until then it will hold their current enclosures. My baby's enclosure is shown... just waiting for the baby :( ...... if it EVER stops SNOWING!

YOU? Little JESSICA made this??? What, are you a carpenter or something?

That's absolutely gorgeous. It sure puts all my carpentry work to shame.

Jessica did you really make that yourself?? Wow! I can't wait to see it all finished. I am helpless when it comes to building things. I am so impressed.

Thanks - I had a little help from my dad. He owns the table saw so I held and he cut. He also helped screw things together. I did everything else -plans, measuring, glueing, linolium, caulking, painting and wiring. I built my little ones enclosure by myself... lol. Too hard to hold the large pieces by myself. :D

Wow, very wow. Better not let my Redfoots see this or I suspect they will break out of my enclosure and head for yours!
