PokerSnake 03-10-2011, 11:51 AM Saying that it looks great would be an understatment

Pitoon
In the states here, there are a lot of places to get them from. I have a few more that I didn't hang up but look similar to these. But I believe I got one in Orlando at some voodoo store and the other one at a flea market.

True! And I'm sure he doesn't approve of the couch in here...................it's just taking up space for BHP cages! :lmao:
Kuehnemund 05-02-2011, 09:23 PM That looks sweet! I need one...
Nice Job!!

2kdime 05-02-2011, 09:44 PM Is that a converted garage Jon?
Is that a converted garage Jon?
yes sir. And since these pics, I've fixed the ceiling to make it look a little nicer. It was bothering me!
2kdime 05-02-2011, 10:00 PM Did you just frame up and rock a wall just inside the garage door?
Looks fantastic man!

Thanks, appreciate the comments! Luckily I have a family friend who is a reputable contractor. He did the electrical, the side door, AC duct, and the wall. I painted, did the floor, and a few other minor details. Should have taken some before and after pics but as usual I was too busy working and I just wasn't thinking about it.
I had him insulate that wall really good because the garage door would get blasted with sun and would just act like a hot plate - this was of course when it was just a garage and I had the rats in it. I was still nervous when it started getting hot out - it's 90 in Florida now - but the room actually gets too cool sometimes and I have to close the AC vent! Who would have thought??
Crazyglue12345 05-07-2011, 07:03 PM Very nice :master:
Beaver96 05-08-2011, 12:19 PM Can't Believe I missed this. Very clean, nice job man!
bammer838 05-10-2011, 05:49 PM Awesome snake room. IS it your garage? Im looking to take over my garage. I need help figuring out a good way to maintain temps......heat and air for the detached garage.
snakeden80 05-10-2011, 11:11 PM killer set up

yep.......I'm lucky enough to have a lot of yard space so I have a shed for my garage stuff and a shed for my rats. I was worried about keeping the temps stable but the insulation seems to be working really, really well and my friend who did the work just ran a duct into the garage for the AC. I'm in Florida and it's crept up into the 90's recently and it stays room temp in there.............almost too cool sometimes.

Herp_Herp_Hooray 06-23-2011, 08:30 AM Awesome setup.
Pitoon 07-05-2011, 02:52 AM just out of curiousity.....are those shelves melamine? and are they sagging yet on the rack with the larger tubs?
Pitoon

Pitoon
yeah, the melamine sags a little bit but it's workable. Both of these racks have been taken apart and moved a few times and the weird thing is that they almost keep getting better! I tweak them a little bit when I move them and they just work for me. I'd love to have a room full of ARS or Freedom Breeder racks but I can't justify forking out the money when I can just build them.

i feel ya!!! they look good though, i wouldn't have expected it was built and taken apart several times.
i personally prefer the wooden/melamine racks verse open air metal racks.....they hold heat better, but are hella heavy!
