Rodent room build

Got my new faucet, apperently they have different size connectors on the lines so I have to get some sort of adapter to hook it up. Did the base molding, caulked along the bottom edge while I did it to help seal the bottom. I think this weekend I will be putting racks back together. I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, checklist is shrinking fast. Have to do molding around the door. Have to add another tub set up because apperently I can't count and forgot a rack that was buried. Put some hooks up for a broom dustpan and mop. Make some drawers for the sink... Should be able to house rodents very soon.

Sweet man. It's so nice watching someone else do the work. LOL... Seriously though, you've done a very nice job on this build!

Lol I wish I could watch someone do the work, kinda makes me wonder what a contractor would charge for a build up like this... I have no idea.

Well I finished the door molding and started building racks. Taking all my old tubing off and putting new stuff on, might as well start clean.

Where are you located? And when you get up and running how do I get some of your mice? Lol

That's what I was thinking ;). Anyways very nice setup, clean work!

I'm about 10 miles north of detroit, might be a while before I have surplus, but there was one point a few years ago where I was supplying my area.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys

Seeing as very few people take the time to read the TOS of any site they join I took the time to send you the section you need to be concerned with here.
I could have infracted you instead but was in a good mood.
Consider it an FYI and enjoy your day.
Back on track as I would suck to loose this thread for continued issues.

I just wanted to Apologize to you personally for the drama that was caused on your very informative and amazing thread. My statement of buying mice from you was merely one of admiration to all the hard work you have put in. Some people have deemed it necessary to put me in my place so I will no longer comment on this thread but thank you for all the hard work you have shared with us.

Have a better day

No need to worry about it, we were all warned. If you've ever been on a forum with no moderation, you would appreciate what a better environment the mods make it. Thank em and move on.

To get back on track, I will say seeing these guys put back together after I don't know how many months makes me happy, still need to redo all the tubing, but im close to raising rodents again. I might be able to park a car in my garage finally now lol.

Man this is such an inspiring room. Here I was all giddy with a corner the the outbuilding!

This is a sick room and awesome thread, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the operation!!

well this is it for today, I didn't really feel like doing tubing today and its time to get ready for the super bowl party and pretend like I know something about foosball.

Still very jealous of this build, mostly because I don't have the room to do the same, lol. Nice work.

I realized it can be hard to get a feel for rooms in still photos, so here my video update. Fun fact first time I ever used the video on this phone.

This will probably be my last update for a while as I don't plan on changing much for now on. I added a shield for the plumbing under the sink.

Got a cage for the sugar gliders and will be putting them out here, as they tend to smell also.

fan, makes a big difference, glad I listened to Freakie_frog

I currently have my pot fan turning on for 5 minutes every 2 hours. I might have to increase that as I start getting more rodents in there. I still need to do the tubing on 2 of the racks, but I hate the home depot tubing I got, so I am waiting on the tubing I ordered previously. When the guy comes to do check out on the air conditioning, I will be having him move the ductwork up along the ceiling. The original plan was to do it that way so nothing would block the return, but due to the dust I changed my mind and put the return on the outside of the room (not so much a return as it is an intake now). however I never thought ahead about changing the duct work. I still need to build drawers for the sink, but I have more pressing projects around the house, so that will have to wait. Prehaps in a few months I could do an update to see how its working out for me. but so far everything is going great.

Do you have a thread with your snakes, or did I miss them in here?

Wow, how have I not come across this thread!? This is so cool to see, and I love everything about it. This is how it's done, and if I ever build a rat room, I'm totally coming back to this thread.

For one, this is awesome! #RatRoomGoals right here. Seriously. Two - those rat racks are awesome! Much more sturdy and efficient looking than just about every rat rack build I've run across. Where's the build thread for them? :confuse:
Love the room! Want one of my own!

I have random threads but I havn't posted updated pictures in a long time. I really need to take a day and get the collection, perhaps sometime after this breeding season.

I've built a few rat racks, each one get better/more convenient, but this is the most recent one. I think I might attempt a metal one next time. Still need to find myself a deal on a welder.

Figure I'd share a few thoughts since its been over a year.

Watering system works like a charm. Filling up water buckets without a hose is awesome. I got rid of the dehumidifier. Once production ramped up it couldn't keep up. So now the exhaust fan is on 24/7. Air flow is the only way to keep it manageable. I also unplugged the carbon fan inside the room as it really didn't do much. Built a few grow out racks for the rats. Been working pretty good so far.

Great looking setup! I am so jealous of that large industrial sink lol.

Thanks, If you already have a utility sink with room on both sides, could be an easy swap out and you can have your own. :) just dont use the garbage faucet that comes with it. Ive bought 2, one for rodents and one for the snake room and they were both leaky junk. http://www.homedepot.com/p/BigTub-Ut...28CF/203155730

Thanks for the info!
My reptile room has an attached *extremely small* bath (shower, kit sink, toilet). I would love to replace the sink with a large one, but I don't think my husband would be on the same page lol.

I'm hoping to setup a shed with electric, water, etc. in the future, so I may look into this at that point.

This entire thread is excellent and motivational. Well done all around. Thank you for taking the time over the course of the build to post.

This is amazing OWAL! Love this set up.

Amazing thread! I am working on closing on my home soon ans want to do something similar. Any chance you can reload or fix the links on the past pictures?! Thanks!

Sadly as the pictures say, thats a photo bucket policy change.
They are now photo hostage unless you have a monthly paid account.

Not to hijack the thread Pit, but why is it that this forum doesn't host it's own images? I can't even think of another forum I'm on that doesn't, and I'm on quite a few. But it really does stink what PB did to users, I'm on several radio control aircraft forums and this has pretty much destroyed some really good scale build threads. And the cost to fix it is nuts. I deleted all my pics from PB.

They have hosting but the file size limit is too small for anything without resizing it yourself or changing your camera settings.

Gotcha. Still, I don't have this issue with other forums I'm on. Of course that may be due to my phone being the best camera I currently own, or at least the most convenient. I think they are both 12mp. Now that you mention it though, I believe I remember having to resize my profile pic, which is why it's still that old one. Don't live in that house or own that snake anymore, lol.

If I get some time ill do a photo dump of the build, but time has been at a premium for me lately. You can still click on each individual picture though and see it. They only disabled 3rd party hosting, can still see it on photobuckets site.

Thanks, I was able to view most the pictures that way. Looks great.
