Nice job, it looks good. Proportional thermos are awesome. You can practically put a light bulb in a paper bag with an egg box, and the Helix will make sure they hatch.

Thanks; I want to say that building this incubator was not difficult at all. I had nightmares about it, and thought of buying a prefab one, but both the price and the shipping ramifications turned me off.. just like building the rack, it seems kind of intimidation at first, but really once you do it, you wonder what took you so long (at least I do!)
Pricing:
$175 (roughly) for Helix t-stat, Flexwatt and its cord.
$5 Perlite bag
$9 fluoro light grid for boxes and box "landing"
$10 accurite thermo/hydrometer
free: cooler (from a pet store)
free also: soda bottles; they were lying around anyway :)
Having a perfect environ for the eggs once they're laid: priceless.
