Part Six: V - The Final Battle
Ok, I finally got around to taking some pics of my rack fully-built and in full use. Here it is: :)
And with my 66% poss het Irish son, Tommy! :D
The total cost of materials (not including heat tape) was $433.71.
The thermostat cost about $280.00 after shipping. 40' of 11" Heat tape, once it gets to my door, costs about $225.00.
For a whopping total of: $938.71
I could have saved a bit of money here and there on some of the materials but not too many.
I might have been able to shave off $50-$100, but that's about it.
I've been using this rack for almost a year now and have built several more with a few variations on the design.
I love these racks! They are BY FAR the best racks I've used. :-)
One final picture of the only injury I sustained during the whole project.
I was literally screwing in one of my last screws and the screwdriver bit slipped off the screw head and went THROUGH my thumbnail!!!!
OUCH! :-( LOL
Anyway, thanks for following along with these articles.
I hope some of you found them at least a bit useful! :p :)
