Congratulate me!

Congratulate me!

I finally moved out the last of the melamine! Oh, yea I have been in the plastic cage/rack business for nearly seven years now, but I had a whole lot of melamine I had been building up for a long long time before that. Contrary to some folks apparent belief, the plastic material isn't free and neither is the labor to build everything. I have used more than 250 sheets of melamine that I built into cages and racks. It took a while to replace everything. I did the worst stuff first and the least worst stuff last. I would have replaced these last racks sooner, but I could not catch a breath because our orders have been so crazy. So what do you think of the last of the formerly melamine space now?

These drawers are 35" long tubs that are nearly 18" wide! About 20% larger than the CB-70 tubs. We don't offer a rack using them yet. They are just too big to ship economically.

I am going to spend the rest of the day moving Boas into them now! These are about 45% larger than the drawers they are replacing. What great fun!

Here is a shot down one of my isles where the big kids are...

to say it; "Congratulations!". I remember seeing pictures of mountains of melamine you had replaced years ago. I had no idea you were still working on it. SAHWEET!

Congratulations, Jeff! One of these days I'll finally finish school and get the stack of Boaphile cages I've been dreaming of...

I'm just wondering, what's that you're using for substrate in those cages? Is it aspen?
