I need to make something for Snuffs I guess, although he can keep the plastic carry box really if I covered it with plastic/felt, but there is a lot of condensation in there, probably best to use wood.; Monday, April 03, 2006 7:06:00 pm

The other box is better as it has a sloped roof, this one is flat so ive tilted the box so the rain should run off it. Its tricky but not difficult to do, if I can help anymore you know where I am lol; Monday, April 03, 2006 7:23:00 pm
