I also have a $4 light timer and plastic storage bin for baths that I bought from Menards.
I want to find a flat, soft stuffed animal for my new baby to cuddle with. I also need to buy some fleece from the craft store to make a blankie and some Mod Podge to seal the basking area. I also want to order a harness from here.
I've had some real setbacks with the basking area. I decided to try and make a bridge to close the gap between the two areas I built that aren't long enough for the new, larger tank. I squirted the liquid nails on super thick and let it set for about 8 hours before slopping on the grout. Needless to say, the bridge fell apart. So I tried re-gluing it. It fell apart again. And one more time. I learned my lesson and stopped being impatient. I squirted on a thin layer and let it rest 36 hours. I'm going to go grout soon, I hope. Every day I'm impatient, I set myself back a day. I want to get one before my dad and sister come visit at the end of the month, and I also want to give it time to adjust before then. I'm just running out of time.
Well, off to put on my groutin' clothes and get some work done.
