    Easiest and Cheapest

    Now I know a little bit of hard work never hurt anybody, so I can deal with that. It's the spending that hurts.

    Are there any links you guys could provide with the simplest instructions for an easy-to-build small rack system? (For adults) I might get the "google" answer, but your opinions matter a lot to me, and I always want to know which works best for you.

    I'm no carpenter, and I'm not well off at the moment, either. It's embarrassing, but I'm sure thousands of Americans and Canadians are suffering from empty wallets, too. I do, however, have a gift card to Wal-Mart. Hahah.

    Any help or links as to which rack is the cheapest and easiest (when it comes to the finding pieces and the actual building part as well) to make. I want to expand my collection a while after I find stable work, but I can't even consider doing that until I have a rack. I'm trying to get both things out of the way at once.



    Thanks in advance, guys! You've always been so helpful.

    Robin has a thread in the DIY on a cheap rack system. She says that it can house 23 animals, babies and juvies. Maybe she would know if it can house adults.

    Other than that, I'd look on craigslist for shelving systems similar to that, and go from there.

    Just buy your tubs at Walmart then measure them and make the rack to that size! Home depot will have everything you need! You will need to buy heat tape and thermostat online! You can go over to Vancouver, they probaly need lots of people for the Olympics! LOL!
