[Merab]

That is no ordinary hutch - that looks more like a piggy palace.
Lucky piggies

 

[Pawz]

It really made me smile that you called it a “hutch”. They are some lucky piggies, it’s far beyond a palace and more like a metropolis!

 

[unkinz]

Wow it looks amazing! There are going to be some excited piggies! So roomy.

 

[Claire W]

Lucky piggies I’m looking forward to seeing the end result

[Swissgreys]

You call that a hutch? It's more like a piggy mansion!

 

[flowerfairy]

That looks utterly amazing. Wish all hutches could be like that!

 

[teddymouse]

You sure it's going to be big enough - our bedroom is smaller than that!

hi

[Betsy]

Blimey your piggies are going to live well? Are you going to insulate it too?

 

[teddymouse]

Blimey your piggies are going to live well? Are you going to insulate it too?

will insulate the roof,its having a bar heater for winter,the walls are 22mm thick so with the correx and bedding they will cosy.there will be 2 bolt holes cut at base level to the outside ,that will be closeable .

 

[Betsy]

42! I thought 5 was enough

 

[teddymouse]

it stopped raining long enught for me to get the outside of the hutch sprayed with water repelant.

and manage to start sizing up the 3 levels,they will be 16"wide,running round 3 sides.

 

[flowerfairy]

I love this thread!

 

[VickiA]

I’m just awe struck by the size and planning of this project.

 

[Betsy]

Same here @VickiA! I suppose when you have so many piggies you have to be organised!

 

[teddymouse]

thank you for your intrest, this project as been a few years in its making, wish l could have done it years ago,when l was able to get around more,but then money was the promlem or rather the lack of it was. has piggies little helpers have done the hard heavy work,l'm now free to do what l want,as they say"watch this space"

 

[teddymouse]

to day ,with the help of piggies little helper (grd son) managed to get the sheets of correx fitted on floor and walls, it's made the hutch lighter.
