    This is a slightly different building product. There is no foundation, as the supports are sleaved with plastic post protectors. The posts are between 2 and 3 feet in the ground. After the building is built, they pump the cement into the building, and it gets poured around the posts. It actually is a stronger system, and much more resistant to strong winds (i.e. we have hurricanes here). You should sww the cement coming in about a month.

    Mike,
    It is mostly for herps, and may or may not have a rodent room in it.

    Here is the updated pic from today. Barring any rain tomorrow, they should be done with the building tomorrow.

    Thanks everyone. The building is done now, and I will get a pic in the morning when the lighting is better. Stay Tuned.

    This is awesome. You should do an open house when everything is complete and you get setup.

    What are the walls made out of? In the photo (on my phone) the front looks like canvas or a tarp.
