    The sealing job looks great, do you have any source for the bldg to breath?
    It shouldn't be airtight.

    Looks like it is gonna be an awesome snake room and I can't wait to see it when it's done :)

    there are 2 vents at the top of the front and the back. You can;t see it in that pic b/c wood is in the way.

    If things go as planned, hopefully it will be wired with a locked door on it by Sunday. I am not positive about the wiring happening this weekend though. After that I will start insulating it and putting some walls up.

    I thought I would give you a heads up on sticking that tile directly on the plywood floor. I have had problems with that in the past. It is really hard to get the plywood clean enough and the corners start to come up over time. Armstrong makes a primer that you can paint the floor with first. Roll on one thick coat and when its dry take your shoes off to install the tile. You do not want to get any dirt on the surface before you install.

    man you were not lying when you said it helped. I put one tile down without the adhesive and could move it a tad to make sure it was straight but the rest I had the adhesive and once it touched it was not moving anywhere. Thanks for the advice
