As you already know, i was waiting for this :D

It looks great! But what are the little "shades" in the nest? Little holes or is it painted?

ratgreen: (13. Feb 2008 22:14)

im guessing there drill holes, as it makes it easier to chip out with drill holes

mvannunen: (13. Feb 2008 22:14)

well i thought it looks better with a little structure at the walls, first I was making it al smooth. Butt it looks 2 sterile this way it looks a little more natural :P

no drilling holes only uses a screw driver!!

I also have 2 be honest I made 2 ytong blocks, as you can see 1 has a sharp angle the other has a curve.

the one with the Angle also the one with the holes was 2 big made a miss calculation thought my basin was 35 cm x25x25 butt is 35cm x 25x20.:S

also gonna put some needles in there from trees.

And I hope thomie gets our ants today then by the end of the week i have also some ants in there

I first wanted to buy needles, but they are quite expensive. So i went to a forest last week and gathered some needles and some nice fir cones!
I havent set up my basin yet, because im still waiting for the PTFE i have ordered yesterday at Antstore.
