Re: Almost not worth it
I'm glad you all like it... now, can y'all have a talk with James??? LOLOL!!!!
Seriously, thanks for the compliments.
It wasn't difficult, it just took a while between coats of everything. It was actually a lot of fun, but I'd do a few things differently.
Next time, I think I'll do Great Stuff instead of Laticrete covered foam. Yes, of COURSE there will be a next time! I *must* spoil Princess Ernestine!!!! The laticrete took too long to dry and to make several coats with, and great stuff "seems" quicker.
Erni doesn't like the larger tubes, so I'll do more pvc.
Might try coating foam with portland, though, so I don't have to use the faux paint. Still might need a few paint washes, but it's fun to play.
I will definitely wait for warmer weather so my project can "live" in the garage instead of on the kitchen table.

Re: Almost not worth it
Okay, I finally got pics of my "beautiful" (taste the sarcasm there? LOL) hide IN the enclosure for James and Erni.
And Erni in her favorite spot!
I think it's a little large for the enclosure, but I'm glad that I left all the pointy-parts on the bottom of it. They really like to hide under it because of them.
I also went up from the 20L to a 40, as you can see. They aren't really all that interested in climbing much anymore, though. I'm hoping it's just their winter slow-down, and they'll be more into it soon.

I really do like it Stephi! That pic of Ernie in the little hole is adorable!

from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.
