    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Holds 6 tubs side by side or front to back I'll be able to tell by tommorow how it holds temps and humidity but I shouldn't have a problem with that at all
 
Nice! I wish someone would help me make an inc. I'm too scared ill mess it up...
 
Yea Mines not completed yet Still have to install the Flexx Watt and a fan to circulate air flow... Thats gettin done tommorow after work I just felt like snapping a few quick pics.
The Flex Watt is going on the back wall the fan at the top. The only diffrence you will be able to see is the thermostat when Im done as it's going to be mounted on the top of the fridge.

Pics will be added when its completed
 
Looks good!! I hope it hatches all your dreams.

Just a thought though I made one from an old upright freezer and to get the temps to stay within .7 degrees top to bottom I had to install a small fan.

Sorry my comment is just a minute too late to see your planning to put a fan in the unit!!

Excellent! What'd you make the shelves out of, is the flexwatt on each shelf or just on the back? Mine only has one shelf and I'd like to add another. What kind of fridge is that?
 
Idk what type of fridge it is as there's no marking anywhere on it The shelve's I belive where custom made by the gentleman that was using it before me I'll snap a pic of the underside of the shelve's pretty neat design IMO anyway

Flex Watt isn't in yet More than likely I may make a hidden panel n let it heat that way or 1 peice on each shelf having a friend come over n offer his opinions on it as the way the shelve's are set in there's only a few place's to run the flex watt I'll get a close up of what Im speakin on tommorow with the shelve's n how there set in
 
I think "homemade" units are the best way to go. Looks like you've got a great set-up. Now it's time to start fillin' it up!! ;)
 
Looks good Clarence!! I'm not sure if you noticed, but if you find a triangle key, there is a nice little locking assembly at the top. I used an allen key and the lock worked fine.
 
Thanks Nick yea I did I really like that feature about it as well a flat head screwdriver works fine as well LoL Nick you've seen the fridge in your opinion where do u think the heat was ran?? Im thinking either on the front door side's of the walls between the shelve's or underneath the shelve's themselve's...
 
The why you have the tubs in there, I would say up both sides so it can equally heat the them. If it's down the back, I think the temps will be inconsistent even with a fan because it's tight. Under the shelves sounds like a good idea too.

I got it from Clay on here. His S/N is "Zues" if you want to ask him.
