Those corrugated front panels on the flower boxes look great. Adds some very nice architectural design.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we have worked hard to make sure we can provide the best for Sheldon since our climate is cold and rainy so wanted to give him room to move around. I love the flower beds as well ❤️
Now you did it. I've been isolating with no problem, but now I'm gonna have to drive down and see Sheldon, and you...That habitat is just really nice...wow
Thank you ? we would enjoy a visit when the craziness subsides. ( I work at a hospital) so we have been isolating at home as much as possible thankfully our projects have keep us busy and Home Depot in business ?❤️?
I have had a few questions on how we built the enclosure. We used 2x6x8s 4x4 posts and slide hangers to attach the boards to the posts. For irrigation he ran a pvc pipe from our hose bib to the enclosure and stubbed up a Water faucet that we connected drip line to we put hedge sprinklers in the corners and bought a battery operated timer to water twice a day to keep heat down and finally a small quick shade over his burrow to keep it cooler
Outstanding!
Well into phase 3, insulation to the shed walls, floors and ceiling. Next was building his night box. Decided to go big with it so it will work for him as he grows. Went the full width of the shed. Made a half wall with a opening. Hung a pipe with plastic runners to keep heat in. The lid is full length and lifts up to allow me access to clean. To protect the lane heat mat cord we added brackets to slide a piece of plywood to block access. For sealing pond liner for the box and flex seal paint for the shed floor.

I am a member of TimberUnity, we sent people stuff and a buncha animal stuff to Medford. We have 50 some odd people who we evacuated from the Medford area here in a hotel.
I am in Grants Pass next town over we have some Medford people at our Fair grounds and churches along with evacuees from Happy Camp. So awesome of you to help out. This is a picture of today from my work
Thank you ☺️ definitely a work in progress wanted to make sure his home would last as he grew
That's about how we look as well. My lungs are compromised anyway, so it's made it hard to breathe, I'm using my inhaler more, ash all over everything ugh

I might be asking for some help and advice in the future.
I think with them it’s always work in progress ??
Stay safe with all the fires. The smoke just hit Bellevue, WA tonight I got up to close the windows.
yikes, so many fires! Stay safe.
I would like to inform those of you with smoke and falling ash falling on you now, paint and paint products and other chemicals have a quantity of ash. Can damage your paint. Rinse the hell outa the car. Then keep it covered. The mixture of ash and rain could be trouble.
