Building a base for my AP enclosures thats 18" high with storage.
Was 50 degrees in NY today and it felt like heaven. I was up by 5:45am, drew up some plans quick and was off to Lowes ;)
Grabbed some framing material and a good peice of 1/2" Plywood.
Tomorrow I'll put a shelf for the Herpstat and below that will be supplies.
Also have to get a nice handle and hinges for the door. Heres some pics from today with 2 of 3 of my partners in crime.

You're so handy! :D Also, cute dogs.

Throw some big wheels on that and you're golden!
I absolutely love the dogs!
Dogs were my first hobby and my wife and I used to compete and trial with them. Our Current Presa.http://i772.photobucket.com/albums/y...a/DSC00063.jpg And agin with our trainer and friend.

Our first presa. Titled in French Ring and PSA.
RIP. Best dog ever.

Our old pit, with Colby blood. RIP girl.

Inexcusable that I don't have our new pit rescue here, and also sorry about the thread Hijack. I saw your beautiful dogs and figured I show mine off too. For you of course.
Bottom line,,,, that base is really nice!

Thx bro.. Im happy with it & I wasn't sure i would be lol. The AP base is to low for me, 8" is nothing so I figure this will get them up to a good display hight..

Yeah, I hear ya. I love custom built and am considering building my own enclosures, but a big part of me says to just let the pros do it

I don't know, when Ali assured me that they would go out yesterday or Monday, that was good enough for me.

Wow...
That is amazing. That is actually much BETTER then store bought. And "custom fit".
I wish I was that handy.
And you are right, this is a much better height, who wants to lay flat on the floor to "see" their snake in a nice cage, haha.
Plus storage.
:gj:

That design would also work for a Glass tank and you made it look great too!!! Some people will always stick to the 20 long or Breeder tanks and it could solve a lot of their heating/Humidity issues. You really made that Perfect. Amazing hahahaha

Re: Building a base for my AP enclosures thats 18" high with storage.
Got a email Update from Ali today.. Looks like at this point they are planning on shipping my 2 enclosures by the end of the 13th week (March 31st).
Keep this In mind if your thinking of ordering anything other than a T8.
If all goes as planned it looks like with shipping I will have waited 15 weeks.... Definitely worth it, but good to plan ahead. Im very happy to hear its coming along. [emoji322][emoji324][emoji324][emoji322][emoji12]
