CR... the whole ups thing just started out cause I thought surge protection would be nice. But you know how these geeks love their toys! So I ended up with this monster! Over kill but sweet of him to be concerned about my eggs. Kinda like when I asked for slippers for Christmas and got an iPhone instead!

Oh and we do have a small generator just in case. The 45 will allow me to run down and get gas.

I started to cut out the window with my Dremel but chewed thru 3 blades and only cut one side. So I thought I'd use my jigsaw with a blade for metal but I didn't have one. Sooo... rather than waiting like a goood girl till my DH could bring one home, I used a hack saw blade with out the handle. Only took 2 1/2 hours or so. And the blisters will heal with time. Is patience a virture? When they were gettin handed out I must have missed the line.

This is the part where the duct tape comes in handy.

Also works to tape up big cuts, and warts.

I did hear that about warts! Weird. Luckily I don't have any to have to try it out!

broodytood the close up pic does a much better job of showing the fine work you did making that. VERY nicely done.

I wonder if a wine fridge would be good for storing eggs before hatching.

I'm speechlesss! It looks great! The window looks professional! I can't even imagine how badit would look if I tried that! I'm all thumbs, and toe thumbs at that. Good luck with your hatch!

FYI Bag Balm does a very good job on warts and is not messy like duct tape.

I started these Cuckoo Marans eggs out in the LG and just got so frustrated with the spikes in temp. I kept watching Craigs list till I found a cheap mini fridge. Had to drive to Portland to get it. But we just took the kids to OMSI and that way I could justify $40 in gas for a $20 fridge. At least that was my reasoning!

The eggs are switched over now and doing great. Candled and see growth. Yeaaaa!

I actually wanted a wine fridge... but nobody on CL was willing to part with theirs cheap enough!
