    Green Lynx spider

    I saw this spider and wasp going at it. The spider won in short order.

    Picked this up to convert to enclosures.

    Well I am going to have to do like @Phil and put enclosures in the cubbies. I started putting the back on the unit and every screw broke the particle board to pieces. I guess it is just too old and dried out to convert. I am still going to put lights and paint it to hang on the wall. I will take...

    I like this idea too. Strip off the paper cover and put the epoxy on the particle board.

    I will drill holes in the doors of each and probably will have to put a screen vent in the back of each one. I found some epoxy for fish tanks that I plan on painting the insides with so that will take care of any moisture rotting the particle board. Will put 2 or 3 inch strips of plexi glass...

    I am thinking doing like @Kymura said and drill holes just big enough for an LED to go in that lights up the cube but all the wiring is on the back outside out of the way. I could even put some type of clear dome over the light so the T couldn't get to it at all. Lots of work ahead. I am going...

    @Kymura It is press board. I am hoping with a solid back and the sealant it will hold together for a while. I will post lots of pics as I go. It should be fun. As for doors I am thinking cover half the opening with solid acrylic pieces attached to hold in substrate then put a flip down...

    I found this unit at an estate sale and it screams T enclosures. I think I will put a solid wood back on it then put individual acrylic doors on the front. Was thinking some kind of pond coating on the inside to make it more water resistant. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

    Nicely done. That's lots of holes drilled without a crack :)
