Carrot Cottage Demolition Thread

aaaargh! Has anyone spotted the mistake? I meant Larry! How bad a piggy owner am I!?! :mal:
In my defence, bitey piggy Barry was having a chomp on my arm at the time of typing :))
Corrected it now ;) x
 
I had some internal wall stripping and roof stripping going on last night too...Blitzen knocked one of the cottages on to the back wall and made one hell of a racket about it! Not that there's much damage to see, I swear he must have taken a very very fine layer off of everything. Unlike the poor seagrass tunnel, I wonder what if did to upset Comet so much? :))

Here is a follow up of the Gang's cottage. I put it in the positions you can see to demonstrate the interior remodelling that has been going on, modelled by Snowy. It even has a back door now and not an inch of grass remains!
 
I have just had to throw it out as several wees were done on the roof and it was smelling a bit wiffy...they will get another one in a few weeks time

Violet's group had turned theirs over the other day and had softened it up with a generous wee patch. It's dried out OK thankfully and doesn't smell.
 
Ah, it was time for a change of toys as it was going a bit thin in the wall area. Wobbling quite a bit even with a piggy atop it
 
I was dragged out of bed this morning by a such a racket coming from my living room. The cause? Fred and George had tipped their house over and discovered the carrot roof (apparently they forgot it was there) and were cheerfully (and noisily) shredding it.
I honestly thought I was being burgled!
 
Well it's seen a lot of love/abuse over the last few months (they don't have constant access to it) but it was time to retire the old carrot cottage last week.

I wasn't going to get them another one for a while as the prices have shot up on amazon...... but I found a new medium cottage in the local garden centre today and gave it..... My OH made me..... honest! He likes watching the demolition squad in action too.

Anyhow, it was a glorious afternoon here, so after we'd finished some gardening we joined the pigs on the lawn to watch the action.

So here we go.... Lilith susses out the new build.

Whilst Wenlock stretches for a tasty nibble.

The cottage has some nibble damage, and has now been confiscated and hidden away to keep it fresh for another going over on another day.
 
Here are mine having a go at their new Carrot Cottage. I've been away for the weekend and felt guilty at leaving them so bought them so I would be forgiven

Velvet is having a go at the back, while Christian is starting to remodel the sides and Betsy is having a nose inside to see what is happening in there.

Betsy has been inside and obviously thought it boring and Dennis is now in on the action!

Christian obviously thinks his skills are better suited the other side!CC4.webp

Meg didn't want to feel left out so she has joined in at the back!

I think they have forgiven me!
