    Wolfwoman $90 for your fur made into trapper hat or mitts!

    Dang that had to cost some to set up, those bins couldn't have been cheap! BUT now that it's done it should pay for itself :) How many bins all together?

    $14 per bin ...8 bins ,1 1000watt heater and a $8 fountain pump. Plus the thermostat mounted to the lower part of the heated bin

    Damn those bins up here would be at least $30.
     
  9. I like those bins also, I cut the pink Styrofoam insulation and covered mine real good, I like the way you did the lids, I just made new lids from the thick pink Styrofoam. If I am doing antlerless heads I put the lids back on with insu. on top
