Dude! I do treework for a living and STRONGLY advise you to remove those maples NOW befopre they become a major problem in 3-5 years. If youi can't remove them, then cut the tops out and reduce thew over extending lower limbs. The tree will rest onm the roof and hold moisture and speed up the need for a roof reshingling. Also thos lower limbs will grow quite fast and rub on the roof in the wind.

PM me with any question!

Got 98% of the sheet rock done and all of the electric is finshed... We installed a 400 watt Metal Halide light to help with day and night cycles... This type of lighting also gives off a great amount of UV... We can also switch the bulb in the fall and winter to a high pressure sodium bulb for seasonal cycles if need be...

You know, those lights have other purposes too......

Great looking room you have there.

Isn't it amazing how different the finished product looks from the beginning and partway stuff.

Looking forward to seeing it set up too.

I'm ALMOST motivated to redo my reptile room. Not quite as I am lazy, but almost.
