I have worked on this project for over two months. here is the story line
I found the gun cabinet at a yard sale while shopping for a desk.
made modifications to the back panel which was crappy finished cardboard and is now finished 1" x 22" real wood. something I had laying around in the garage.
made the corner shelf out of some wood from work.
found the fake ivy plant at saint v's for 48 cents. installed it on the corner shelf for a good hiding place.
found the drift wood on the beach by work, cut it down to fit and treated it with a over night bleach bath ( 6 hours on both sides in the bath tub) and pressure washed it at work which actually made some very nice hiding spots in the wood underneath.
drilled the top hole for the night light and installed the 18" uvb hood.
caulked every seam, installed a board on the bottom front to keep the bedding from falling out and drilled a hole in the floor big enough to fit a plant pot for the live fern going in.
treated all the wood with a water sealer.
and ordered the two hanging plants, the uvb bulb, night time 40 watt bulb and the thermometer from "everythingreptilesupply.com
all I have left is to drill the ventilation holes and install the screening.
please let me know what you think!!!!
