Well this is what my incubator started out looking like.

Here is the new and improved incubator. I hope it works better too. I just turned it on, and am waiting for it to stabilize.

And I couldn't do this without my little man coming over to check it out and make sure I did it right.

I'd be interested to hear how well the position of the thermostat works for you, I have issues with mine holding a constant air temp, it drives me nuts but it works well enough(knock on wood).

It was very simple to wire. The new placement of the thermostat is really good too. I turned it on last night and got no fluctuation. It has stayed at 99.7 degrees. I had to calibrate my thermometer. It would say 100.4 when it was actually at 102 but I have the thermometer at 97 now. I am even happier. Here is the diagram.

Here is the fan diagram I just did. The little gray things are twist on wire connectors.

Yeah. I made a hole in the side of the incubator and use the flat head screw driver to adjust. I don't keep the screw driver in at all times, I just did for the pictures.
