    Getting tired of dealing with a shelf full of glass tanks for my rats, so I think I'm gonna run to HD in a few to start on this build. Looks really good man...

    Good looking.
    It is hard to let the little ones go so I hold a couple back to grow out every now and then for future breeders

    This ended up being about a 6 hour build for me with a little bit of help. It was SUPER easy, just time consuming. Thanks for the measurements. I made mine 6 inches taller to give a little more ventilation but otherwise your material list was right on. Thanks for posting this...
