OK, so here we go. Just thought it would be a good idea to sort of blog our progress, additions, and pics for our new GP's.
I've done an introduction so if you like a bit of background then we are here -

After some thought and research we have decided to go for a 4 x 2 C & C with hay loft.
I've had a look round and priced things up but have decided to try and do as much as i can by making my own!
First things first we need to give our GP's a nice home so i called in a favor from a friend and i now have a sheet of 1" square mesh. I'm going to cut this into the correct sizes to give me my run.
HERE ARE THE PIECES I HAVE CUT OUT.
Using the standard 14" cubes used in most c&c's i have done them 14" high and 28" wide, just in keeping with sizes but with added strength being one piece.
Now i have all my pieces cut and de burred I'm going to paint the with black hammerite.
HERE ARE ALL MY PANELS IN THE PAINTING PROCESS.
Next thing is the correx, i have worked out that i need one sheet 8' x 4' to build a nice tray, and board out most of the hay loft. I have ordered this from a company called sitebox at a great price. Should be here in a couple of days.
Well thats as far as we have got at the moment, we have inquired about a few re home pig's but as we are not quite ready yet I'm not rushing with them. be nice to reserve some young ones for a couple of weeks time.
