New cage FINALLY done, check it out!

This one took me a couple months to complete. It's 96"L X 27"w X 36"t. I did something a little different and used tile grout over plaster instead of polystyrene. I coated the grout with a 50/50 mixture of white glue and water, which I sprayed on with a misting bottle. I borrowed this idea from the model railroading hobby, and I like this method better, it's actually stronger, quicker, cheaper, less odor, and easier to apply, and doesn't have a shine so looks more realistic. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for looking.

I'm going to put three of my females in it, with occasional "visits" from a male, if you know what I mean.

I'll build you one when you come up to PA and help me move the darn thing. The cage itself weighs a little better than 100lbs, plus 60 lbs of tile grout, 200 lbs of stones, and 300 lbs of sand! Thank God I have a basement, then again, I don't ever want to move.
Thanks for the kind words.

Looks like you put in a lot of hours and hard work. It's really a great enclosure.
