Update on the shed!

Assembly will start tomorrow after work! Gettin it done over the summer just didn't go to plan as me and my parents went on holidays at different times so that was 4 weeks out of the picture!

The weather is supposed to be pretty good so hopefully by tomorrow I'll have a shed!

Shed production is a GO!

Not bad for a few hours work this evening!

Should be done by the weekend and pig ready by next weekend! :)

The roof is a NIGHTMARE! It's so so hard to get everything to line up tidy but for a budget shed it's great! :) Will be finishing it off tomorrow after work xx
 
We ended up with a gaping hole in the roof at one point but sorted it out in the end. When we put the door on, we also ended up with a huge gap above the door but we used some wood from the old hutch so it turned out well in the end :)

I'm looking forward to seeing yours finished x
 
Felt has been put on the roof

We need to make some adjustments to the door as it's too tight a fit at the moment. It's actually wedged in the doorway and not even hindged on in the picture! It just stays there!

We only have the doors, windows and the trim bits left now :) My Dad is also going to speak to his friend who's a carpenter about putting the insulation in for us to save us having to do it! Were gonna get all the insulation and everything finished before moving the piggys in so we don't have to think about it if the cold springs on us out if nowhere! He is also eventually going to fit opening windows for me so I can open them in the summer 8)

Last push over the weekend now and I'll have my fully built shed (won't be pig ready for a bit yet though!)

I just foundout about this thread! I really want a shed for my piggie but my parents won't let cause I only have one piggie and they think that the hutch is fine!6)6)mallethead

Operation Piggy Shed has been on hold since September. I've been swamped with work and the weather hasnt been on our side.

The windows have now been fixed.

Shed update - shed will no longer be used for the pigs! AFTER ALL THAT WORK!

I've had a teaching job for September so will be moving out over the summer hopefully. We've all agreed that it's pointless moving them out only for me to move them back inside when I move out so they are staying put!

My Dad is now making plans as he has an empty shed to play with!

Ah, dads love a shed :).

Well done on your job & lovely for your guineas to be able to stay indoors where you can talk to them all the time :)
