>>Great idea for the light. Are they battery powered? How much are they? Looks like it is coming along pretty well. What is that power grab stuff? I used liquid nails. Is it similar? Thanks, Derek

Derek,

They come in battery and wired. I opted for wired. I'd have to look, but they cost less than $15 each (was $12 something, dunno the receipt is in the garage) The first pic of everything shows the power cords I will be modifying: just make sure you get a three prong plug and wire so you can be properely grounded! I plan on running all the lights up to a power strip that will be wired into a some sort of switch. How fancy of a switch I don't know right now, probly just on and off.

The power grab is a liquid nails type material that works faster and supposedly stronger (of course their comercial wants you to believe it, ha ha). I'll have to let everyone know after I get my glass track (any day now, hurry up please!). Then it's glass time and final assembly!

I did make a base tonight for the cages that has casters on it so it can be rolled around, no pics yet. Maybe later or tomorrow.

I plan on putting together a parts list so anyone can reproduce what I am doing, will have to do it at the end of the build.

Dan.
