Here are some construction pics of Bob and Dot's enclosure in the front court yard of my house.
My uncle Scott, the landscape artist and fellow tort-lover.
With the GFI electrical receptacles in place, we now position the rubber pond-liner for the stream.
Now to fill up the liner with water to test the fall in elevation.
Still tweaking the depth of the water. Don't want Bob and Dot to drown!
Now the tiki hut platform is sitting level on the bamboo legs I cut from the court yard.
My Grandmother's friends are pondering my next move...
Which was the clear Lexan bottom panels of the hut.
Now to frame in the roof. Notice the R-MAX insulation panels that are used as the roof sheathing.
Ready to move in the furniture!
This is what it looks like from inside my dining room. The tripod is the world-famous tortoise-cam.

It will try to install some harmless camera control software that allows you to pan and tilt the camera. You need these drivers to see the images. This part may take a minute or two... you must have patience to properly enjoy tortoises!
You can click on the image to center the camera where you want it.
Thanks for viewing!!
