I can only do it this way because I have allot of space. 1 single home investment in the D.C. area buys allot of house in Michigan.



The soak tub is a difficult thing. Moses only pooped in it so I removed it from his present cage and had to close the hole with a large piece of stainless steel and caulk the seams. The only way I'll ever do a soak tub again is if it's easy to pull out and clean. If it pulls out it has to be VERY strongly secured to the cage when installed, but quickly releasable for removal. I'm thinking of using a large childrens toy bucket in a wooden box with a wooden top that fits perfect to the opening of the bucket and clears the floor of the cage by about 1/8 inch and locks into place with a foldover hinge in 2 places. I'll be able to slide the box out, then slide the bucket out to dump and clean. Refilling will be done in place with a water line right to the tub opening and a spigot on the cage. I'll use quick connect hose to go from the cage to the house plumbing system in case I need to move the cage. The water line in will be filtered with a PUR refridgerator filter as well as the sulfer filter for my home.



I gotta go. Families waitin for me to get home frmo work.



Happy 4th.
