Idea for first DIY cage

[Starbuck]

build a 2 inch litter dam along the front, and the front panel hinges (up or down), while the substrate stays contained by the litter dams?
You could use the same idea with a sliding dorr (litter dam), this gives you room for the bottom 'track' or the sliding door to fit.

One idea i have toyed with lately is buying a pre-made cabinet (which has all 5 sides solid, but a front opening door), and then playing with the front side to get a viewing window, wither hinged or sliding. This is only because i dont have the tools (saws, routers, etc) to build my own 'box'

And buying a cabinet will actually look nice (if your not experienced in wood work it will look pretty hideous in your home)
