I make these little portals over my doors to keep rain ou on the rare occasion that we get rain here:

Here is the inside front and side all framed up and with insulation in place. Next I run a silicone bead put the walls up and screw them to the framing all around:

Here the sides, front and back are all sealed and buttoned up. I've added the little walled area that will keep the torts from touching the heater and you can see the removable divider in the middle. Next summer I plan to mix the males and females. When that finally happens I will probably remove the divider and let them all move back and forth between the pens as needed. This will give me the option of separating the male if he becomes too aggressive, and I can also close one door, remove the divider and make them all live on one side while I grow stuff to graze on one side or the other. Options. This box gives me lots of options.

I hate power cords sitting out exposed. They get weathered, tripped on, and I don't want the torts to have access to them.

Here is what I came up with for this situation. I ran the cord through this pipe into the ground and buried the remainder.

Same thing on the side where it plugs in:
