So first off I went to Wally World (that's Wal-Mart) and hunted for supplies. What I was looking for was a good sized container, some plastic trays, and some shallow containers for the beads.

I apologize in advance for the somewhat crappy pictures, I had to use my phone.

One of the biggest problems with tupperdors (and coolerdors) is that they are either airtight, which can cause problems if left closed for a long time, or they don't seal at all, which makes it difficult to stabilize the RH. Thinking about this I bought a container that doesn't really seal, and then some weather stripping tape (thin foam tape) to put around the edges. Hopefully this will create enough of a seal to keep the environment stable, but still allow some measure of breathability.


So...here is my haul:


1---24 qt plastic box with locking handles
2---wide plastic trays
3---narrow plastic trays
1---package 3/4" wide sponge weatherstrip tape
2---plastic soap dishes

I also got a gallon of distilled water, 2 additional soap dishes (for the small humis), and a small spray bottle to wet the beads.

The total cost for all this was $13.52

Next up...the "construction"
