Wall painting
Someone left a note on a piece of cake in the fridge that said, "Do not eat!". I ate the cake and left a note saying, "Yuck, who the hell eats paper ?
First serous picked up antique pine varnish and did the top part of the wall before I noticed, it turned out really dark so I decided to sand it down and start again
As it happened I had run out of the darker colour brown so tried it using the second colour
Though it looks ok (looks greeny?) I'm not really happy with the result (may look better when fully dry) and it maybe a trip in town tomorrow to get more brown

After the mess ups with paint ect I have finally got the final paint done and done the first coat of varnish!
The second photo shows it a lot better than the first (first looks darker than it is)

Front 6mm ply
side 6mm ply
Had loads of hassle cutting the sides out because I was daft and lent my neighbour my jigsaw and he managed to twist the blade arm so I had to strip it down and straighting it
I still have the left side to do then a load of sanding down but its now close to the end of the project!

Looking better by the day Barry. Nice work man. One spoilt lizard
On the final run now, all that is left to do is attach the top runner and give it a few coats of varnish
not the best photo!

Going to be using a clear varnish (2 -3 coats) so it will be slightly darker than it is now.

Varnishing finished
thats pretty much the whole thing done just need to let the fumes dissipate and furnish it with some vines ect and lay canvas on the floor!
Tests show the basking stop hitting 104 and 80 in the cool end but it takes a good hour to fully heat up

Looks very good, well done. Hope your lizard enjoys all the hard work you've put in.
