Just went to Big Als and bought a glass lid with a hinge... the only sucky part is that the back 1/3 of it is plastic so you can cut out for all your cords and such... and I don't have anything to cut out for... except... possibly on the right hand side where the inputs come in, so hopefully it'll fit length wise??

Wes likes jumpers

Probably just to cut back on evaporation. Wes is that plastic part blocking your light? Why not just replace one of the pieces of glass with a larger piece so you don't need the plastic?

Yeah both evap.. and possible jumpers.

yeah I'll prob replace the back plastic piece cause the plastic will be right under the light... but we'll see how it looks... but gotta start somewhere

Probably should have just went to a glass shop from the get go... but whatever ahah

Or you could just rip the entire carpet out, ect. The rip out the subfloor and completely redo it so its level. Its easier than it sounds.
