I am so proud of my first ever attempt at wood work. I have made a frame for an old cage base to sit in, for an upper level hayloft/toilet area, and also a ramp for them to get up to it safely.
Here are some photos of my attempt! Please excuse the poo's, I am cleaning them out tomorrow, and making a new Correx base. I will also show you the frame tomorrow, without the cage base in it so you can see the construction.

Can anyone see Gimmick?
Tuck and Liquorice hiding from the camera flash
Now, even though I have made a side to the ramp, I learn't today that Tuck jumped from the top of the ramp. So I have decided to create a roof to the ramp. I have also decided to change the cage walls on upper level for a proper chicken wire and wood construction (With an open top so we can stroke them while sitting on the sofa).
Now the problem I have is that I bought this galvanised chicken wire stuff from B&Q for some garden stuff, but never used it in the end. This stuff would be perfect, but it does have a almost chalk like powder on it. I am sure this is just a residue left from the galvanising process and I am not sure wether it would be safe for the piggies. Any advice?
