Box Turtle Enclosure: Progression Thread

I know! Last time, all my friends conveniently stopped by after the walls were up- need any help?

I have to plan out the water supply, too. I have a water line going into Fort Tort at that right hand corner. I can T off that.

Cool, I like a woman who can tote lumber and dig holes!

Now when the boxie fort is all set up it's not going to obscure view of the fort tort at all?

Well, the bench that I sit in to view Fort Tort will be between the two, facing the Fort. I don't look at it from the house. There will be room to expand the patio behind the bench/arbor. I want to put in a wicker bench and table, or glider or something, to view the pond. When I sit at the Fort, I will be able to hear the fountain in the pond. On the left of the Fort, I want to build a gazebo some day. Behind the Fort is my firepit, I can't expand in that direction. If I put in an enclosure for a third species, it will go somewhere to the right of the two pens, maybe midway.

Sweet baby Jesus, what is this?

I don't know, but Krusty dispatched it by biting off the head...

This is it for a while- it's only 80F, but broiling sun. I have one timber in the ground and level, and am 3/4 done digging the trench for the second one. I'm hoping that by setting the parallel timber second, measuring off the first, the whole thing will be easier to square up.

and enjoy the vacation. I wish I still had turtles. Box I mean. My Honduran Wood Turtle isn't going anywhere.

This is it for the day. Severe thunderstorm coming in and it's time to feed snakes. Still- I got three sides buried and have them nearly square. That's the part I hate- it's very difficult.

Wow, nice work Nanci! How long are you off for?

You have a wonderful garden by the way, it's huge!
