The Tortoise Table

Someone has asked me to upload photos of my indoor enclosure and how it was made. I think it might take several posts, but I'll make a start here with the finished enclosure and then try to upload photos of how it was constructed. It is 7' long and 2' wide (width dictated by the dimensions of the room it is in). The upside-down 'U' shaped structures that hold the lights are built so that they can slide along the table in case you want to re-position them. The ramp to the upper level and the upper level itself are removable, and the only thing I would change if I did it again would be to make the upper level smaller, as the torts don't actually need that much space, and the sleeping area underneath it is too large too.
So first some photos of the finished table.

And here are some photos showing how it was constructed (including a close-up of how the structure that holds the lights is made so that it can slide back and forth along the table:

Sorry, the second lot of photos loaded back to front, so to see the progress of construction you need to look at the last photos first.
