I am making a 2 x5 with a 2x2 hay loft :)) well my hubby is!lol

I have also ordered this x2 this correx

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4mm-White...661?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item46057fb2dd

hope I haven't missed anything out! We have to make a ramp and have a few ideas for that! :))

do you think we have enough of everything? have I forgotten anything? rolleyes eekkk am very excited!
 
It is so nice to read your threads and hear about all the things you are buying and doing for your boys. I can see how much you love them.
 
Oooh how exciting, getting a c&c for my three was the best thing I did!
 
Hope to be moved in next weekend at the latest, my hubby is making me a table for it to go one with some plastic storage boxes underneath! I am silly excited, hope they like it! :)
 
It's exciting isn't it :)

Hubby is building my bookcases right now for the c&c to rest on.
All I need now is the correx which I'm ordering tonight-if I can decide where to have it from. rolleyes

yeh that was the hardest for me to decide, also finding white cubes too!:))
 
I've done it!

I've ordered two sheets cut to the sizes I want from the one stop plastic shop.
I've had white-thought it would look nice with my black grids and white bookcases.
 
Oooooo it looks good, hope the build goes well looking forward to pigtures :))
 
correx has arrived today, the box is huge! lol it was well packages even had corner pieces put on to protect it :)
 
Well I feel totally stupid mallethead
Had a phone call from The one stop plastics shop and because it said they cut to size I gave them the sizes I want. He rang to say the sizes I gave are bigger than the sizes of their sheets-whoops. mallethead

I've now just ordered two sheets of of their 1.22m by 1.22m and I will get some waterproof tape to tape them together.

The bookshelves are a disaster too!
Hubby has built one but they are going to dominate the room too much as they are bulky-the other ones going back and we are now checking out cheap flatpack sideboards.

Will get there eventually!

Glad yours is now coming together Winne-woo :)
 
Amy, I think the Lack table from Ikea is the right size? My 120 cage used to fit on it and it was a fair bit wider than the cage.

It might be that you could get one big one or 3 little ones?

I'll see if I can find you a link

Thank you, I will look into that as a possibility.

The Piggys are in a new room we recently had done-it's a sun room/dining room and I've done it in shabby chic style so I wanted whatever it stands on to be in keeping if possible.

I've got a bid on a lovely shabby chic sideboard on eBay so fingers crossed I get it. It's a bit of a drive to collect but would be worth it as its the perfect size.

Ment to add also that height is very important, I have a fused spine so bending is difficult.

I had a pretty tablecloth on mine so it sort of matched.....sort of.....

And I am painting the hutch white so it fits in a bit better

good luck with the C and C
 
Looking good! Beware though C&C's are addictive, once you have one, you'll want to keep expanding and adding extra layers and stuff!
 
best thing i ever did was building a c&c for my piggies :) they were all popcorning in it when i moved them from their pet shop cages :p
i just need a table to rest mine on too as mine is on the floor at the moment. hopefully will find something soon though :)

i'm sure they will love their new cage! :)
 
I can't wait to see my girls in their c&c!

I'm still the higher bidder on my table so pray I get it or it's back to the drawing board and delaying their new cage :(

Will you be using water proof tape for the corners of the correx?
I've been told you get it from Wickses but it's £7 a roll?

I was going to go for invisible duct tape is that the same thing? lol

I am mega excited but can't build it till weekend as my hubs on nights till then!
Can't wait to see yours too :)
 
I've looked on eBay and the waterproof tape is really cheap so I'm going to order some off there.

I think it is the same as clear duct tape :)
