    New Quarantine Rack
    Well, I got tired of setting up temporary Sterilite containers during quarantine, so I went ahead and built a new rack. I used one full sheet of melamine to get 5 medium slots that can also fit 10 shoebox Sterilites. I installed 3" Flexwatt in series by soldering two pair wires on each strip and connecting them using slip-on connections between shelves. This will let me shut down individual shelves depending on the number of snakes I have to quarantine.

    I started off by using my CADD, drafting and engineering skills to draw out the plans:

    Here's a Pic of the back of the rack showing the Flexwatt taped in:

    And the slip-on connections between shelves:

    Finally, the finished unit sans Sterilites:

    What? Okay, no need to be shy. I'd be happy to give you a quote to design your next big construction project. It might cost more if I have to use more than a couple of post-its, though. :cool:

    Thanks, I just had to get those screw holes straight to one-up Jamie. :neener:

    BTW, Ohio? How's the surfing over there? Do they have lots of Granola vendors? :hungry:

    No surf and zippy for granola there, but I've heard that they grow some premo "Northern Lights" so you'll be fine. ;) :partyon: :sweeet:
