Guinea Slave
Adult Guinea Pig
I thought it may be interesting to start a thread on our new shed. Its not a normal shed and I have been part terrified (rural location with foxes, rats etc) part over excited (beautiful 'shed' and what a wonderful home we could make for the guineas).
We moved to the countryside last week and with the house comes a beautiful purpose built tool shed. It has a clay tile roof and cement floor, with bricks surround. When we first came it had mice, was very cold and a little damp and full of wood and old wooden furniture. We have cleared this out and my wonderful husband who (despite me being with him for over 20 years) still surprises me at what he can do! He has been laying a raised floor with wooden floor boards to keep it insulated and warmer.
He has fixed the gap under the door where mice could get in (filled with cement). The walls are all lined with wood and the ceiling has plasterboard and has been sealed and painted so its nicely insulated.
Here are the first few pics. Stupidly I didnt take any pics of it in its original form....dark and very dingy.
