Great pics and helps me plan for my possible future doing this. I only was wondering does the sheds have exhaust fans? heck i also look into setting up a internet connection of some type so you can arrange a to set up for web cam/ some kind of temp /power lost warning system due to heat/ storm if not home.

=====================
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.

No exhaust fans on my build. I have lots of venting in the top "attic" space though. Theres ridge vent holes in the ridge ( 30 1.5" holes per roof ) as well as bird block holes between the rafters ( again 30 1.5" holes ), and two 4"x12" vents on the front and rear triangle pieces. All together just over 200sq" of ventilation spaced out equally to get benefits from any direction of wind travel.
If you want more exhaust I would just do bigger roof vents or twirly roof vents. But you could just as easily add a 4" exhaust fan.
On the internet connection and all that fancy stuff. It would be nice, thats for sure. But Im home everyday, and I check on them twice daily. And when Im not home I get someone to take my place for the time. When I move out and am able to hopefully keep my snakes in the house then it will be much easier to have a monitored system that would notify me via text if my parameters were broken (temp/humidity).
it cool man I was asking cause were I live even a good shed can overheat sometimes in direct sun. I seen temps over 120 in my grandfather shed he built 3 summers ago at 11 in e morning. but he never put vents or fans in since they were just to store the mower in and his work shop. I know my old room when I lived at home I had to crack a window in the summer to keep the room from roasting my snakes. ( in late afternoons I recorded about a 20 degree increase cause the sun was shining on that side.) it got to the point I mounted a fan in the window that had a t stat controlling it.
So when my wife and I decide we can swing our own place and if I got to keep animals outside ( rodent or snakes) I plan on setting up fans and a wifi connection. I may even place a couple solar panels on top if it in the sun all day long lol.
