I has nuttin to Say.
sure.. here are some comments, lol.
What is the size? what are you using? is this for a multiple cage setup?
The tiny pictures make it really hard to figure things out.
For something like this it would be nice to see step by step instructions with each phase. This way if someone wanted to replicate this, they would have a great referral to here.

I like the styrofoam wall idea, it makes all of your basic construction materials compatible.
cmon guys and gals, I can take some critic, really don't be shy.
I've decided to make a removeable piece much like the part of your first viv in the bottom back. I'm waiting to find out what you are going to use to finish the foam. I've seen a few options posted before, just trying to decide.

Their ya go, That wasn't to hard.
As for a step by step, Well...Since It is my first time and I'm taken it kinda as it comes I would have to make it simple because exact details I don't have and unfortunately can't remember.
Size is about 3,30 meters long 2,30 meters and 0,80 meters deep.
Mutiple rack consisting of 6 Individual Vivs with a size of Approximately 1,04 X1,04 X 0,74 meters interior without decoration.
Frame built with 2,4 X 4,4 cm using metal corners and screws.
Walls are consisting of 4.0 cm Styrofoam insulation. wich I am hoping will keep in the heat to cut down on electricity consumption held to gather with food quality silicon.
Interior construction consists of Styrofoam, Silicon and expanding spray foam.
Following are the original fotos in a larger size.

As far as it being hard to clean. I sure hope not. I plan on coating the foam structures with tile cement or whatever its called their in the states. then coating that with something nontoxic and washable color or something and throwing sand on it while its still wet. It has been said to be easy to clean and disinfect. We shall see. :shrugs:

Well the first two I hope to have completed by the end of the week. and after a test faze I will be able to split up the "Kids".
The rest will be taking a little longer because it all got allot more Costly than I had originally planed. However due to the fact that I want to do it right and it will be a permanent addition to the living/Dinning room I'm willing to take the time and spend the money necessary.

Mr. Maya! Sorry I hadn't posted earlier, but I think things look GREAT! I hope everything works out and that the "cost over-runs" don't get too big! LOL.
It certainly looks like you know what you're doing. I look forward to seeing the finished product.
