    Exclamation Under Construction!

    Well after almost two year my dream is coming true. I am renovating two rooms in my house to make them one big herp room. When we bought this house it had two connected storage rooms built on to our connected garage. Their combined total size is 22'X16' after the dividing wall is taken out. This is going to be my base of operation, with cable high speed internet access, separate phone line and a little mini office for the business. I am so stoked. We started demo tonight. I got a few pics before I was told to drop the camera and grab a hammer.

    P.S the reason I am doing this is my wife told me if I wanted any more snakes and before this breeding season I would have all "those animals" in snake room....OK HMMMM more snakes and a herp room all to myself No Problem

    Here are some before pics of both rooms before. I'll get some of the during and after up as we go along this week

    right side of Left hand room showing wall that is coming out on the right



    Left hand side of left hand room showing future work bench/computer desk/photo booth/ and rat breeding will go below



    Right hand room. Racks here we come. the left hand wall is coming down as are the shelfs (those things are like 3' or 4' deep)

    Re: Under Construction!

    See if they'll let you hold the camera a lil' longer. put off the suffering for a few moments more! We did a gut job on a kitchen a few months ago and I still haven't fully recovered from the mess and stress!!


    Good luck with your herp room. We want during and after pics too!!

    Thanks Alice.

    I really want that hospital feel to this room. The cleaner it feels the more I'll be incline to keep it that way.

    Re: Under Construction!

    Congrats Ed. I can't wait to see the finished product. That should be a nice sized room, but if you are like me, put some thought into how you will expand it, as I have run out of room in my first building, and had to build a second, and have almost outgrown that one too.
