Insulating The Shed For Winter

[maisie-piglet-mocha pigs]

Hi
I've just finished insulating my shed for the pigs. Will post pictures soon.
I figured this would be an easy job but how wrong was I! It took several weeks to get it done (I was the only one doing it) and cost about £300 altogether. Glad its done though as I worry about my pigs in the winter. I used the fluffy stuff and boarding on top for the walls and celotex for the ceiling.
I'm going to use 3 snugglesafe thingys and hang up some hot water bottles to see how warm the shed stays when it gets to winter.
here is my current summer set up -

Exciting stuff! I love the moo print inside the hutch!

Thanks. The 'wallpaper' is from Dunelm, they sell wipeable tablecloth type material by the metre. It is great for keeping the walls clean and was only £2.99 a metre square

So I promised photos of the shed....
the run is 5x4.5 ft and made of trellis as it was cheap.

Wow it looks great! You can tell a lot of work has gone into it

I really love that. The colour of the shed is gorgeous x

Thanks. I just hope it will be cosy enough. I'm going to put a wooden box in the run that they can snuggle in when it gets colder. Ive also ordered a few cosies as they love them and the old ones have got too worn. If I could i'd put electricity in aswell. That may be a job for my dad later on as I wouldnt be safe attempting it
