a 5x2 as that is as wide as I can make it in this space - think that will be enough room. I have to put the correx in when it arrives and then set it up.

a new bed (and a blue spotty that I messed up)

and the two (so far) fleeces ready to go in, a lovely terquiose blue and a yellow spotty one.

This is the room - pardon the mess, the stuff on the bed wont be there come the winter when the guys come in, that is a double bed in there now length ways in the room to give you idea of scale.

I have some grids left over for spare, I can make the guys pen up better this time round knowing what works and what didnt but at least guests can stay in the room when the piggies are in their hutch in the summer.
 
I will, sadly between things happening in the family, work, completing loungers and the weather I have not been able to take many photos, I need to get more snaps of the gang in the hutch and eventually they might get some grass time - and yet again my lawn is like a jungle.

I am sure you dont want more pics of the messy pigs room though :red:)) I have worked really hard to get it in this state, and can actually move round it now

Indeed, perhaps there is more to the pictures than just a cage ;)

my lips are sealed :))

i am looking forward to completing the c&c, kitting it out and I will post pics as I go - probably in the same bad light and out of focus style the phone decided to do
 
and, the correx arrived tues, folded and placed in yesterday morning, plonked one of the fleeces in and cant decide where to put the hayrack.

Its not long enough - the fleece, have vet bed on its way to cover the end, that bit will be the snuggle area for them.

The only problem is, the blooming cardboard box on the bed is right in my way, so major sorting to do today and put the box out the way. Not a lot of space in the bedroom with the bed in there but I need that for the big pen come the winter, but heyho it is all for the piggies comfort not mine.
 
Fab! Where did you get those yellow ans blue grids from?
Xx
 
ebay, they are plastic ones but the full size, only enough in each pack for 3 cubes but plenty enough for what I needed - and I wanted to add a bit of colour. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRAND-NEW...5?pt=UK_Bedroom_Furniture&hash=item27c840b2bd

The metal ones were second hand from a member on here.

And - tada, the whole set up, got towels from charity shop this afternoon.

it looks smaller on the photos inbreeding but its huge in real life - well 5'9" x 2'3". I dont know if the medium logs will be big enough for the pigs to go through, but as the gang have used the stools for over a year now I didnt want to put their smell in the pen. Everything in there is untouched but the gang, the wooden chew toy came with glue but I put it together without as I am not sure how safe the glue would be, they **** wont chew it but its there. Still a few little bits and bobs to come but its usable now.

Yep just needs piggies in it now
