Well, my original plan (much earlier this year) was to put Athena and Aphrodite in together once Aphrodite came out of quarantine. Unfortunately Aphrodite got an RI that lasted for ages but for the past couple of months she has been symptom free. Unfortunately she is a little feisty now as a consequence of all the injections I've had to give her, although she is a lot calmer than she was and seems to be getting better all the time, and I don't trust her with Athena so the time has come to build her a new viv as she's just about outgrown her 3' one. So I've decided to make her a nice 6' viv and I will take pics as I go along tomorrow and post them for you all to see.

To be honest its making sure your measurements are right thats the most difficult bit, allowing for the thickness of the wood. Get B&Q or wherever you get the wood from to cut it to size for you and then screwing it together is easy, but you'll need someone to hold bits steady while you put the screws in.

Or if you're me, work out measurements 18 times then get B&Q to cut
