Rodent room build

Looks like I got another week of overtime this week. Still managed to get this mocked up today. Worked in a space for some drawers to store extra water nipples, tubing and such. I also wanted to keep as much off the floor as possible, making it easier to clean or catch escapees.

Nice setup! That sink is going to be a dream! I only have a regular bathroom / sink off my reptile and rodent room.. I have visions of a utility sink, but that'll probably never happen lol.

What are you planning on using for the walls? Will you just paint, or use something to cover them that is more durable?

This will look awesome!

I plan on fiberglass panels or something similar.

Holiday break is over tomorrow. I thought I would get more done over break but with all the get togethers, birthdays, and normal holiday stuff, turns out it wasn't much of a break at all lol.

I did however get a furnace installed and new electrical pulled out to the garage, the electrical part involved a service change on my house also. a/c gets installed in the spring. this is just outside the rat room:

Also go water line pulled from the house to the rat room with heat trace, still need to tie it in, also changed my mind on the water heater location, so built another shelf and moved the outlet up.

most of my knowledge of this kind of stuff comes from just doing it. Occasionally you need a youtube video to get you started or someone to help you along, but honestly most people are capable of way more than they think. Don't cut yourself short. :)

Yay paint! ceiling and shelves, makes it look better and also hopefully prevents any water or that ammonia smell from soaking in anywhere.

Got the easy wall up, just straight cuts and no receptacles, now on to the more complicated pieces tomorrow. I can't believe how much adhesive this is going to take me, I nearly used an entire 3.5 gallon bucket on one wall, looks like I need to go buy 3 more buckets.
