Will get pics up soon with all the cages set up but here are some build photos....
Outside shell is reinforced cinder block with a concrete skim coat... We installed a steel door and frame...
We wood framed the inside and ran 4, 4 plug outlets, and a light switch for the overhead lighting... We also lined the cinder block walls with 3/4 inch styrofoam boards for extra insulation...
We then fully insulated every wall and the ceiling with R-19...
We then sheet-rocked all the walls and the ceiling... We left an attic hole for storage...
We then filled all screw holes and taped all seems...
Lastly, we dug out a french drain to keep water from ever getting in the room...
