Okay, I am thinking about making a nest for my pavement and colony which have grown like crazy this past summer and really need a new expansion nest. But I need some help designing it. I want to use my perfect cast in this big-Ish container that I have. I was hoping you can help me design it and help me go step by step to make sure it's ant escape proof and to make sure that it's good for the ants. This is my first DIY nest so I hope it goes well!

Here is the container

Search up the DIY guides on here. There are several that will guide you through the process.
