Hi,
Well, I found a great cabinet that I intend to convert into a home for one or more reptiles later. For now, I'll simply put my stimmie's enclosure on the top of it.
I bought some castors to screw into the bottom of the cabinet. The thing is heavy even without reptiles so I thought it would be a good investment. Now that I have the whole shebang home, though, I've realised there's a possible problem.
Each castor has four holes so that it can be attached to a surface with bolts or screws. There isn't enough space and one of the holes hangs over the edge. I shouldn't think it would be problem - the screws are to hold the castors in place, not anything else - but I thought I should ask the more experienced DIYers before I drill the wood!
I'll try to attach a picture of what I mean, but I'm not sure how to do it successfully using this site. Please let me know if you can't see the picture.
Thanks,
Ren
