    Lisa,
    The top trays are made from plexiglass, some from fiberglass ,these have the egg crate in them.

    The bottom ones are made from foam board...siliconed together.

    This was an experiment, but it works GREAT ! He wants to redo the bottom ones(has done one already)and make them out of fiberglass or plexiglass...stronger..looks better,too. When I water, I open the floor drain and let it flow.... I can close that off to keep cold air ,etc. out.!

    I just wonder why it took him 4 years to think of this!

    I think I need to send my husband up to you and let you husband 'splain a few things to him! He could use a few pointers, especially on cooking

    I'll see YOU next week!
