This is my first time building an enclosure and I wanted to show everyone it in progress as I go. I lined the bottom of the enclosure and up the side a few inches with epdm pond liner. I will seal the inside walls the best I can. It will have sliding glass doors on the front. Does anyone know of some caulking or something that I can seal the inside seams with. I know it's not gonna last years because its wood but me and my wife decided to do it as a project together. Its 8ftx4ftx2ft.20181012_202307.jpeg20181012_202311.jpeg20181012_202327.jpeg20181012_202338.jpeg

Great beginning! Cannot wait to see the ending. It will last you a long time. I built my redfoots home and its been 3yrs. My wife and I did not treat the wood against moisture. No rotting of any sort. I used advice from the these forums and ernest johnson.

Very nice. I would have liked it to be up higher so one doesn't have to lay on the floor to reach clear in to the back.

Too cute. Something like that would give me a coffee table but more important! I could have my baby right where I can watch him at night. In the mornings he'll want to be in sunlight.
