    Here is a pictural of the process. Built 2 incubators, a bigger one for me and a smaller one for roosterman2173. A special thanks to the family and Dwayne for helping out. Mine will hold 29 boxes and Dwayne's will hold 10.

    Yea..the 6 qt boxes will stack 3 rows wide, 2 rows of 10 and can stack 9 on the fan side. Will be a few years before I will be filling it up. lol Right now I am just happy I was healthy enough to get out and help build it.

    Never occured to me to actually paint it. :)

    I am in the process of converting an old bar fridge, helpful stuff.

    Excellent post.

    One question... on the larger one, is that a fan in the middle of the flexwatt?

    Bruce

    No...the flexwatt is on the back, the fan is on the side in the middle for circulation, not blowing on the flex. I set up one box yesterday and let the incubator run overnight. Had the helix set at 90. This am inside the egg box was 90 degrees and 95% humidity. The painting just adds a little personal touch.
