Mixed feelings! I have a bunch of different Omlet (and non Omlet) setups now. Haha. I like the taller ones. If I plan to spend a lot of time with the animal. It's just easier for me to get in. For the animals I spend less time with, these are great. I like having fresh bedding whenever I move them and I think it cuts down on the cost of bedding as well. I prefer the ones that the wheels are on the outside because my chicks are sometimes dumb and like to stand near the wheels while I'm trying to move it.

@@doityourselfdanielle OK great, thanks for the insight.

You can use moulding. I have also seen an alternative to beadboard that's actually fire-safe... it's pvc interlocking panels. I've been eyeballing them but haven't worked with them yet or seen costs. Tempting option for my next build though. It looks easy to clean.

3 sows! We have 7 now and a slightly different setup. We keep changing and updating.

@@doityourselfdanielle glad to hear I am not the only one addicted to adding to the herd 😂

@@user-xb8sw3yv8d If the rescues would adopt to outdoor homes, I'd have more. 😂😂😂 also I need a bigger shed.

@@doityourselfdanielle Mine are all rescues and have adapted really well to outdoors, I started them for x1 hour daily and gradually increased. They love it and seem to blame me for bad weather when they can't go out aha!!!

Because water goes through gaps? 1st- It's waterproof if you install it properly. 2nd- Just because it's waterproof doesn't mean water won't go through seams. In theory, water might get trapped behind the tiles if it went through. Would the tiles rot? I don't imagine they would. But you'd have a nice warm moist area for mold to grow. 3rd- Not caulking some projects is just sloppy. When you've spent hours installing something, don't skip the last step that only takes minutes. We have tile in our upstairs bathroom, installed by whomever. I have wondered how we'd know if mold was behind those tiles if the install hadn't been done properly. Pretty sure we'd need to wait until we had health issues and tested. 😬

Hm I think it takes care of the leaves pretty well ... But maybe the blades were dull in that video? I will need to see if I can find it... We don't get a lot of leaves in our main backyard which is where I originally did a lot of the videos. Trees are pretty far from the area.

They aren't particularly cheap and we don't have an easily accessible outlet on that side. If I had a longer couch, I would ABSOLUTELY do two. But we don't really need/use this particular outlet much.

I have a video on those! They're great. So much better than the icky ones that flake everywhere. ua-cam.com/video/2HLSRgFIgqc/v-deo.html

Thank you @@doityourselfdanielle

A lot of this is just preference. The size doesn't matter. I prefer square and 4x4 or thereabouts.

The white thing is a pod from Gardyn. It's not necessary... I'm trying to use these up as they're from the hydroponics system that I had before.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to add the links when I posted this. Just updated the description.

Lights and Stand: I shortened this stand to fit the space. This is the stand that I usually use to grow seedlings in the spring. amzn.to/3U3Jams Rockwool Cubes: amzn.to/48B9qJj 3" net pots: amzn.to/4b1n4XS Mason Jars, Wide Mouth: 12 quart/32 oz jars amzn.to/4bd1ekq Hydroponics plant food: please note that this is not the same brand that I'm using in the video. I'm trying to use up some stuff that I had. Regardless, you need to do a significant amount of math to figure out the amount needed for one mason jar. I'm currently using 1/16 tsp Gardyn veg+bloom which is difficult to measure out. It may be easier to get a gallon container of water and add the food into that. Mix. Then pour from that into the containers. amzn.to/3HnyxTZ

@doityourselfdanielle thank you for your prompt reply and additional tips! You rock!

You can use any brand and I'm not keen on this one vs any other. But I'm using it all up before I experiment a bit more. Whatever brand you get should have info about how much to use per gallon and I had to calculate how much water was in the mason jar and the appropriate dose of the fertilizer. Let me get the info together though and put it in the description.

The light is supposed to be outside. When it lights up, the chickens know the door is closing soon. It's on the exterior of the hutch/run because I wasn't keen on my other location options... the hutch front doesn't have a lot of space without putting it on the outer door.

U may want to watch omlet video about this light it’s for the inside. But if it works with your chicks that’s most important 😊

Huh... Alright, my mistake. 😂 I initially installed this on the enclosed coop run to open into the more free range area. So the light was outside because the coop wasn't near that entrance. It didn't even occur to me to check when I relocated this one!

So my guinea pigs don't try to dig out. My rabbits do. You can buy the wire to put under there which might not be a bad idea. But guinea pig feet are bothered by wire. So you want to cover the wire with dirt afterwards. That all said, I ended up putting stall mats on the bottom of my cages because it's easier to clean than dirt. I'm able to put down sawdust and then scoop it out whenever it's dirty versus trying to scoop the sawdust off the dirt. So far I like this. For the rabbits, I wish I'd put the wire down first because they like to find any small little area to sneak out if they can. 😂 My rabbit May likes to go for a little wander occasionally.

@@doityourselfdanielle thanks for the reply! I will use wire on bottom and cover it. I want to grow grass first before sticking them in it so that'd be comfortable and always have extra access to greens

Hm pretty sure it's exclusively mounted to ceiling, not the wall. But it's been a while since we installed it.
