I have a list of materials, pieces to cut, and just about everything except the actual written walkthrough done......but I do have a bunch of pics that go through the process. Shoot me a PM if you are interested, I don't mind helping out.
EDIT: It was easier to just post this here....the pics will have to wait til tomorrow....the flu has got me right now.
Lumber, Materials, Tubs, Equipment, and Heating needed to construct this rack:
Lumber
12 - 1” x2”x8’
8 - 1”x4”x8’
Other Materials
1 – Roll of plastic netting/hardware net (called Landware)
150 - 2.5” drywall screws
150 -1.75” drywall screws
4 - caster wheels
1 - Roll of aluminum duct tape
1 - Sheet of tin or pieces of sheet metal cut to the needed sizes
12 ft of Velcro
1- 2’ x 4’ section of ½” insulation board
Tubs
5 – Sterilite 1960, 41 qt. Tubs (34 3/4"L x 16 1/2"W x 6"H)
9 – Sterilite 1754, 15 qt. Tubs (17"L x 11 1/8"W x 6 3/8"H)
Heating
4 – 3’ sections of 3” Flexwatt individually wired
5 – 1’ sections of 11” Flexwatt individually wired
2 – Thermostats (one for each different type of heating element)
NOTE: I paid extra money for heating equipment for this design because I wanted a professional to wire my Flexwatt. If you do not have experience with wiring Flexwatt then I would recommend that you do the same. Improperly wiring the heating elements for reptiles can result in the death of your reptiles, house fires, and quite possibly the death of you and your loved ones.
Tools used:
Miter Saw
Electric drill (with countersink and Phillips head screwdriver bit)
Tape measure
Tin snips
Scissors
Here are a few of the pics for the beginning, I need to crop, resize and logo the ones near completion.
