So what was the toad-all bill on Django's stuff ? (great name BTW)
Sorry, should have toad you about my bad jokes.
I'll just go back to reading this ribbeting thread.

For anyone who's interested, I've started building my epoxy/ply water tank. The cost is probably the same as for a plastic tank but it'll make better use of the odd shaped space where the wall cants in to meet the frame - I'm getting 25+ gallons from the space under the stove. I'll put a bunch of pics in my build thread once it's done.

Apparently the poor little thing was wandering around the Studio looking for a place to hibernate , he’s still dug in now ... no current signs of activity ... not even a nose sticking out ...

The Toadal expenditure was < 20 USD ... Not bad for all the amusement he provided ... the least I could do ... ;)

I just figured him waiting at the door to get back in , that he actually wanted to live in there ... Several times I’ve opened the door , he hops to the threshold , looks out , then hops back inside again ... a choice ... that shows a modicum of intelligence ... probably more than the dumb Dog... :R :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I once stepped on a rattle snake. I did not scream. But people said I looked like a cartoon figure. I went about 3 feet in the air and my feet was running in air trying to get traction.

It was a bit scary. I don't bother to kill them any more. They are just trying to make a living and I am way way to big for them to eat.
