    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Been working on building racks.

I've been wanting to increase the number of animals I'm raising up, so needed to increase the amount of space I have available for it. So gave a go at building a steel rack around the VE Super 70 tubs. I decided it's just too heavy a material so built a 2nd rack around ARS 70 tubs out of aluminum. Pretty happy with the outcome.

I redid the steel rack, replacing the uprights and guide rails with aluminum.
Also built it in 3 sections of 3 levels each for much easier moving up and down stairs.

I would like to do this. Can you share generally how you did it? or do i need a garage full of tools to accomplish it because I dont have that
 
You can get by without a garage full of tools, but you'll need a way to cut the metal and the plastic, which is helped by a few tools. An angle grinder can get you most of the way (I used one to cut the plastic when I was using really thin stuff, that was not wanting to cooperate). You'll need to find a good supplier for the material, if you rely on what you can get at a box store you'll be paying WAY too much to be worth the effort.
