Soooo my OH made it very clear the wiggles were not taking up the spare room any more, I argued that my old hutch was too small for the three of them.


So being the doteing man he is he sourced a load of wood at his work. Most of it was already used, victorian and needed a quick wash down before working with. So as we both had friday off we got to work. I am proud to say I measured and screwed most of it together :) It has cost me £28 in felt and bolts/ hinges. Everything else came from the "scrap wood" pile at his work and we already had the paint and mesh :) :)

It measures 6ft 2" by 2ft 2". Holds three boys.
