    New Quarantine Rack

    Well, I got tired of setting up temporary Sterilite containers during quarantine, so I went ahead and built a new rack. I used one full sheet of melamine to get 5 medium slots that can also fit 10 shoebox Sterilites. I installed 3" Flexwatt in series by soldering two pair wires on each strip and connecting them using slip-on connections between shelves. This will let me shut down individual shelves depending on the number of snakes I have to quarantine.

    I started off by using my CADD, drafting and engineering skills to draw out the plans:


    Here's a Pic of the back of the rack showing the Flexwatt taped in:


    And the slip-on connections between shelves:


    Finally, the finished unit sans Sterilites:

    What? Okay, no need to be shy. I'd be happy to give you a quote to design your next big construction project. It might cost more if I have to use more than a couple of post-its, though.

    Thanks, I just had to get those screw holes straight to one-up Jamie.

    BTW, Ohio? How's the surfing over there? Do they have lots of Granola vendors?

    No surf and zippy for granola there, but I've heard that they grow some premo "Northern Lights" so you'll be fine.
