damn this took me a long time to get myself in gear to get this started, but today i finally did it and built my rack, I'm so proud of myself, even though it WILL fall apart, hastily, and the heat mats fall off the back every time i slide a box in, which is a bugger, but I'll be damned if you think I'm going to try to build it again haha
heres a quick pic, not got all the boxes, nor all the heat mats, nor are all the boxes set up
but meh, i did it!!!!!
just the other one to do tomorrow Evil or Very Mad

this will hold 12 50L RUB's which is good because i intend to fill them with female house snakes Twisted Evil

got another 4 on the way soon which is what spurred me on
anyways... to the photo

was going to try the duct tape, that should theoretically, do the trick
i just checked, and i have to take the top bit of mdf off and raise it, whilst i do that, i reckon I'm going to do the same with the other level, its just a bit too tight at the moment, and in doing that I'll likely have to get new fittings to fit it, so although it is built, it is no closer to being finished than it was back in B&Q!!!and I'm going to have to inconvenience my aunt again by buying more mdf, as the tape won't stick to the 0SB exterior board of the wd viv underneath for some reason - that's just my luck eh? lol

although i might be able to make it work, I'm not one for giving up haha
(i am really tbh Laughing
