Making The Boys New House

[Drezella]

So the time has come for my boys to get their next cardboard house. I started work on it today, it's just a shell at the moment so i'll be uploading more photos as it progresses.

It's going to have a porch and garage attached, and I'm also going to make a shed for in their 'garden' hehee. Here is my living room floor taken over by boxes, and the house lay on its side. You can see that work on the porch has started, and the roof has been lengthened to fit.

More photos coming soon:

Spent an hour or so working on it tonight after work. I've got the ramp in, just need to make it all piggy friendly now by covering the tape with cardboard. Have also cut the doorway where the garage will attach onto the house.

Staging boxes ready for get ramp to be built in:



Ramp in, puppy pads down for absorbency:



Started to cover the side of the ramp with cardboard and the floor and stair platform with sea grass mats:



Cut the doorway out that will lead into the garage:



That's all for tonight folks
