Beautiful weather today (almost 60F) so I took the boxes outside to get them sanded up. Took about 1.5 hours to get it done. Ready to stain the outside and paint the inside with Pond Armor. Should be staining this weekend in the garage at work so it has a good space to air out in and is heated. Also the thermostats, temp gun and Reptile Prime arrived today.
Had to shim the top box a bit to fit the door on the front of the bottom one, thats what your seeing between the two boxes. Will be putting some kind of feet on it. Maybe even just those felt pads.
Still to do:
Mount RHP's
Wire in thermostat probes
Place Thermometers and probes
Hardware (hinges, latches, locks, handles?, feet)
Drill air holes and create something to increase / decrease air flow (probably on 3D printer)
Stain / Pond Armor
Complete above by March 1st
Fill, test and adjust by March 29th
March 31st Get some Ball Pythons and enjoy...
