3 level Tort complex

[Alex Z]

So the wife and I have begun on the new tort complex. Home Depot ran out of melamine wood, so we using plywood again. It's 1/2in thick. The length is 8x3 and the height is 6ft. I will update as the build goes

Curious to see how it turns out, I need to upgrade mine and am looking for ideas. Good luck!

Definitely post progress pictures as you go - I'm curious to see how you design it

Several issues we encountered, but we have a steady pace going. Back walls are going up, then the details inside and then front panel and lights. Hopefully, another 2hrs max.

Cool, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Ran into issues with one of the back walls. The build will continue tomorrow.

Is it going to be 3 enclosures or a single, 3 level enclosure?

 

[Alex Z]

Single 3 level Tort house. Ok, so we have to take it apart and rebuild. Because of the size, have to make it more structurally sound. I will be getting new plywood today, but won't begin again until Monday. Have a family reunion this weekend and 2 bday parties to attend.

Update:

It's 90% complete. I ordered a new dome for the basking bulb that goes with the Russian tort. Panels are up and sealed the seams. The redfoots can move in tomorrow. Gideon the rt, have to cut down his front panel. Too high for my wife. Final step is the front doors for the reds. Have the lexicon cut already, just need to make the frame and drill them.
