yeah our weather is identical really. your only a few hours from me. i can completely understand what your saying as well. me wanting t move them out of the house is more a soon to be need than a want. once my daughter hits a certain age she is going to need her own room, and the snake room is it! i didnt think about the opening of the door dropping temps in such a small space. id have to make a small mud room to prevent to much of a draft. i also didnt consider the need for a generator. its really a good thing i asked its giving me a lot to consider and plan for.
i have about 2 years before its a necessity. it will be a necessity to get the rats outside this spring though. its too bad solar panels arent cheaper yet they would be perfect for what i need.
lots to consider! im actually thinking of building a 12x24 or evn a 12x30 i just need to contact code and see what regulations my city has on outbuildings first.
thanks again
