I decided to go ahead with this conversion which is just wide enough for my Darwin girl. Here's the unit which was free from curbside cleanup:
So far I have finished new, thicker (6mm) backing pieces for the centre and left side.
After some careful planning,
I have installed the main vent for the centre section.
Tonight I cut the hole between the two sections, but the jigsaw was really bucking, so I need to tidy up with the electric plane tomorrow to straighten the sides.
I've got glass doors for both tall sides, but will put sliding glass in the centre. I haven't bought that yet. Everything else, including heat cord, special jigsaw blades, fake plants, etc has come to about $200. More to come in a day or two as I get more done!
I'm going to heat it with a homemade heat panel from heat cord underneath a basking shelf in the tall lefthand side.
