Thank you! I'm so excited! I can get a dimmer at lowes, right? A dimmer+I think I'll get the accurite there.(I love those thermometers.)
Dad's not sure he wants to put his soldering iron through plastic, so I might drill the holes then melt them with a lighter.
Any certain amount of holes I should put in it? IDK, I'm so excited though. XD I want to make sure he's happy. I'll be sure to post pictures ASAP. I'm already thinking of a name(Matsuda) but I'll have to look at him and see if there's another name I like.

Drilling, if you're not careful, will crack the tub. You can get a solder wand while you're at Walmart or Lowes for about $10.

Start with less holes than more. You can always add more if you need them (judge if you have enough by the humidity reading). You can't un-do holes if you do too many and your humidity is too low. Though a plastic tub isn't too expensive to replace.

Some shows will carry UTH's, some don't. Fingers crossed. And yes, you can use a light dimmer until you can get a good thermostat.
