Alright Guys and Gals,


I'm going to do a bit of converting and thought I'd document the journey as a bit of fun.


Right, First off I found a bit of furniture on Preloved for free.


The plan is to turn the two top shelves on the right into a little stack (2x 3 foot vivs 18 inches deep). The glass cabinet is going to be a rack for when I pimp out my snakes. The total cost is estimated at around £80.

Here is a crude drawing of the mini stack that will sit on the shelf on the right.

Nice finds. I tried to do something like this but it turns out I'm too damn picky with furniture!

Hope it all goes smoothly :)

Here we go. Half way there. B and Q messed up the cuts so had to go back and get them to recut some pieces (happens every time!) and I've had to hack part of it with my jigsaw. I've changed the design a little bit because I've been offered 2 boas really cheap! (well cheap for the particular morphs).




I can't wait till its painted etc!

Alright Chap and Chappettes, Got some vent holes drilled and a few layers of varnish on. Just need to seal the edges, pick up the Glass and put the vent covers on and I'm done :)
