I want to trade for a herp guy!

[Scribble_pants]

I see all the awesome snake enclosures you all make in the photos on here and they are just so cool! My boyfriend has been promising to fix one of my set ups for a month or so now and my animals are stuck waiting in inapropreite cages! I usually get sick or waiting for his promises to come through and finished (or start and finish) jobs myself but this one I need a grinder for and he wont tell me which disk I need (I need to buy it but dont know what one). Dont get me wrong, I am happy to have my house scattered with reptiles as it is and my boyfriend is great, he does share our bedroom with me and our free ranged bearded dragon for my obsessive fear of cockeroaches and he has paid for a pair of my snakes (and he has even come so far that he now has his own water dragon) but cant you guys run a boot camp style boyfriend make over or something? Or some sort of rent a hubby system where I can rent a herp guy while he is away at work or uni (haha, that does sound bad)???
You guys are the best, thanks for all the awesome photos of your handy work everyone, its nice to dream on.

Actually Brenton, He needs to borrow it from his dad first and who knows how long that will take! It has some rust on the bottom that we need to get rid of and I dont really know how to do it myself. I figgure with the grinder I just grind it off with some sort of sanding disk? but to be honest I dont even know what a grinder looks like, let alone what the disks look like. He is playing UFC on his xbox, there is no chance he will be open for advice until the entire game is finished and he is utterly bored.

That could end up bad if you have no idea what they are. IMO if you have no idea don't use it it's basically a hard spinning disk I slight nick to the finger and things go bad quick.

i put a diamond blade on a grinder into my thumb while building boats a few years ago. i don't recommend it

 

[pretzels]

if you dont know how to use it then google it lol seriously i wouldnt bother waiting around i would just learn how to do it myself.
my brother promised me a huge big guinea pig enclosure when i was younger. he got about 5 minutes into it and then his ADHD kicked in and he got distracted for the next few months. so i jumped on the net and looked up how to make them. raided dads tool shed and made my own yew beaut double decker guinea pig cage.
moral of the story- dont rely on someone else just have a go yourself. and surely its just common sense to be careful with power tools....

I learnt early with my ex not to wait for help. Take the whole grinder down to the hardware and ask for help. Like others have said, research or find someone who's paid to help you!
It's amazing what you can achieve by yourself

take a few pics of the rust problem and post them up, you may not need a grinder, you can always do it the slow hard way with a file and sand paper, much less risk of losing fingers or body parts too!
you really don't want to be operating such machinery without either supervision or experience, they can inflict great and devastating damage.

+1 simple peace of kit but devistating errors.

Ok, I took some photos! the set up might be a little bit confusing in the photos but the rust is clear. And then I took photos of all of my comprimised babies waiting for set ups that are suited to them. Notice that my beardie doesnt even have a home, he lives on my boyfriends bike (which for some reason lives in my bedroom grrr).
