So first of all why are photos so annoying to load? I had to resize them all so hopefully they work.
Anyway, I recently moved from Melbourne up to QLD and left my old 4x2x2 melamine enclosure behind. This meant a new build. So after seeing some really cool cabinet conversions recently I headed down to the buy back shop (a shop thing at the local tip) to see if I could find something that would be suitable, to house my adult woma.
This is what I found:
It is an old jewellery display cabinet, with a glass display part up the top and storage at the bottom. Although it is way too small to house my adult woma, it will be perfect for my woma hatchy, well at least for a little while.
The first thing I did was pull it apart and give it a good scrub.
And that is as far as I've gotten with the cabinet so far. I plan to have the one side completely melamine so I can put the vents in without having to try to holesaw the glass. Put a shelf in underneath and have a hinged swinging door instead of the impractical sliding ones. The back glass panel will be pulled out and replaced with the sliding glass doors from the front. With the top of the enclosure I plan to mesh half as humidity is a problem up here and put the back panel of glass over the other half. So the front will become the back and the back will be the front. Hopefully that makes sense. Well it will anyway when it is finished.
