Yes...Happy Friday to One and All. We're expecting an "Alberta Clipper" to sweep through early this afternoon bringing very cold air. Once the Clipper's winds meet the more humid air of the Chesapeake Bay it will turn to a fast moving snow storm, dropping an inch or two of snow. Weather Alert in place, but nothing to worry about.
Good morning Mark. Nice to see you.:)

Good morning to all of our lovely roommates.
Big "changes" in progress in my living room. Torts need more space ...:eek: The living room cabinet has to go, sideboards will replace it, and on the sideboards ? Wooden terrariums ( closed chambers naturally ! )connected with each other, so the sullies have a wider space to run. The two little greeks get a new terrarium too. 120 cm long and 50 cm wide.
All wooden terrarien I treat with Epoxy resin to make them waterproof.
Pics when all is ready.:)

Hello roommates!
Been to daughter’s school play in the morning and am running my free daycare (again!) for her friends in the afternoon. No time to catch up. :(
However — I have received a postcard from our roommate with the most beautiful handwriting. Thank you, @Yvonne G!

Hi, Can I ask what does the epoxy resin look like and how do you apply it? I want to build a better enclosure for my tort, but this will be the first time I will be doing this, so looking at all sorts of things and trying to get all info together.

Hi Carol, you need the expoxy resin and a liquid that will harden the resin. Both is transparent and stays transparent but it is possible to add colors to the resín.
You have to put the resin together with the right amount of the hardener and mix it very well. You get a thick fluid that you can apply with a brush. After 10 - 15 hours the resin is dry and absolutely waterproof and the best: It is non toxid.

Cool, I thought it was that kind of resin, just wasn't sure.

Just a bit chilly here, blue skies and no wind, all a bit uninteresting, really.
