I'm out of town right now. Final material cost isn't done yet since I still have a few things to wrap up on it. I'm going to stain the inside of the side and back panels to help to keep it nice and dark and waterproof all the wood.

It'll be heated by 11" heat tape , 1 piece per level . When i run the heat I'll take more pics and post them in the thread. It would be a little cheaper on materials if you use the scrap pieces of melamine for the sides but it adds a buttload more weight doing that so i dropped an extra $11 for a piece of luan plywood and it was big enough to cover both sides and the back from 1 sheet. When its done I'll do a complete parts list as it will stand ready to deliver. So far as I can tell just materials isn't that expensive and it only takes 10 - 14 hours from picking up supplies to building to wiring in heat.
