Tank(s) I got from driving through town on bulk trash pick up nights 100 ft in front of the trash truck. Freebie.

2x2's are cut down 2x4's so they are about half a 8 footer so $1.50 per lid for the wood.

food hopper was scrap 1/4" mesh I got from my dad. Freebie.

Walmart wheel $4

Walmart water bottle $2

bedding, standard pine $6/bag. so 10 cents maybe?
