Hi Guys
My Bredli is now in and happy so i figured i would throw up a few pics of my build,
sorry about the photo spam.
My mate Nigel helped throughout,
my Puppy didnt.
it was at this stage we realized that this build was going to get heavy
so we designed it to come apart in manageable sections of 100 kgs or less
double glazed window that i acquired off gumtree from a glass place really cheap.
its 2600 x 950 high
The good old school Broccoli boxes gave me a great starting point
time and effort go me to this stage,
the water bowl is constructed inside an outer structure so i can simply lift it out to clean and refill
let the grouting begin, i used different colour grouts to easily see where i had been and what spots were missed.
cheap labour always makes the job quicker
finished ready for painting
installing the led light system,
i used individual 10mm leds in red , white , and uv.
then wired them thru a wireless controller with dim etc
the water bowl i painted with a clear UV reactive acrylic before i put the final sealer on.
it looks really cool in person. glows blue as you can see and continues to glow for around 2 hours after lights go off.
My Girl Precious enjoying her new home.
she can still reach end to end but has a lot more room to move and explore.
i purchased some fake vines from the junk shop, then removed all the leaves and individually installed them with toothpicks and glue to the gaps between the rocks, I didn't want any chance of her tangling up in the vine so i removed it.
