New hood build

Didn't like the open top look and hated the mesh screens so I built my own hood. Made it out of PVC trim so I don't have to worry about rot or mildew and it's lightweight. I covered it in the same wallpaper as I used for my stand so they match. The top opens so I can do maintenance and I added a feeding door that stays open with magnets.
