As the summer approaches, our family tortoise can look forward to escaping her winter imprisonment to spend a lot of time outside on the deck. Even with the freedom to be out of her terrarium, she will inevitably try to find places to hide. Being that she is the most extreme introvert of the family (hermit would probably be a better description), I am working on a little hut for her to escape to.
It's been a really fun little project so far. The floor is cut from some black acrylic I had left over to make cleaning it a lot easier. I left the main framing to dry overnight. Later this afternoon I will be working on the roof, trim, and embellishments. I was even able to get the family involved. My older daughter wants to put together a flower box for one of the windows. One of the boys wants to make some pictures to hang on the inside. The wife wants to create a name plaque. The tortoise certainly won't appreciate all the homey details, but everyone seems to be having fun chipping in.
