Also, the shelving material I placed on the screen is porous, but not as porous as the screen itself so that may be slowing it down some as well.

That looks pretty dense to me...

Yes that might be slowing it down a little. I use this one, slightly different and is more porous.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

You're welcome... I think. Wazzup, Chaos? Causing any trouble in the hood today?

A whole lot of I wish it was already Friday. There's always trouble in the hood. Your new construction's lookin' good. How's the barbiebatoring?

Looked at a close up. Not exactly the same stuff I'm using. What I'm using is a "tight" network (tighter than the screen in the 'bator but not as tight as the one I linked to).

Yes, that looks more like what I'm using. I got it at Ace, not Amazon so just looked for something close.

Great... keep up the good work!

Rain's holding me up today, so there won't be any progress for a day or two. Oh well, I have over 1 1/2 months to get 'er done.

As before, it's performing in true Barbie fashion... beautifully!!!

That sounds good. If the mesh holes in the bator are less than 1/4", it should be fine without the liner. You just don't want the holes to be big enough for the chicks to catch their hocks in and mess their legs up. Just thought I'd throw that in...

To sweet and you'll melt in the rain?

Probably more towards lumping up than melting...
