Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

New Snake Room (duw)
I have started building my very own snake room. Its time for them to get out of the house. Its a slow going project as I can only work on it on Sundays for the most part. As some people know, we are trying to adopt our first child, and have been told by every domestic adoption agaency we spoke to the snakes have to be out of the house. Here are some photos as we have progressed.
Day 1 the floor

Seems to moving along pretty well.  Hopefully there haven't been too many smashed digits in the process.

Funny you should say that. On the second day, I hit the same finger twice. It busted open on the first one, the second was just icing on the cake.

Ah, the joys of building. There's bound to be one blackened finger nail before the job gets done but those double whammies really suck. Hopefully you got your quota in early and the remainder of the project will be only steel nails getting hit. Do keep us updated on the progress.

Looking very nice!! Can't wait to see the finished product! I'd be curious also to find out what your eventual cost ends up for the project.

As will I. I have all the receipts for tax purposes. I went to Lowes and bought a book full of designs. I picked the one that closest fit my needs and ordered the blueprint, but more importantly the materials list. I took that list back to Lowes and the cost was going to be 3600.00. Thats when I decided to wing it and incorporate the help of some good friends that are handy with a hammer. I will tally it up when done. So far we have 4 Sunday afternoons tied up in it.

Looks like it's coming along nicely, especially in light of the fact that you have limited time to work on it.
Good luck with the adoption, too!.

The blocks are the foundation. The red clay should be packed down well enough, and I have a bed of pea gravel under each one. If it settles some, oh well. I don't think it will be much of an issue. I will give an update soon
