To start off i haven't been able to take pictures because my dad left his camera at the car rental. (He travels a lot for work, but he said they have it waiting for him for the next time he goes down there) I've been sleeping on it since and it works fine, it's as sturdy as a ox.
I have ran into a few snags so far though, like for example all 4 posts were accidently slightly taller then the frame so i had to use a handsaw to cut them down to size and my sides are incredibly weak for weight being pushed on them. The problem with the sides is that i only have 1 post for them to be screwed into which happens to be in the middle! but i know how I'm going to fix it.
I'm still not quite sure how i want to seal it, but I'm leaning more and more to a pond liner then putting some sticky tiles onto it to protect it from being torn apart by the inhabitant and for the rest that wont be covered by pond liner I'm thinking linoleum flooring sheets.
My only other problem that i had was that i bought to thin of plywood, i wasn't paying much attention and accidently agreed to buying barely even 1 cm think plywood but lucky for me I have so much support on the back and front i don't have to worry about it splitting under the weight of the substrate.
The reason why i haven't finished yet is due to the fact that I'm 15 and didn't have a job before i started this project and quickly ran out of funds to pay for it lol. I now have around $500 in my account which will easily pay for the rest.
