we have an out building its 7 ft by 11ft nearly its a brick build and is at the mo used to store garden things well hubby has said we can start to do it up,my bro in law is a builder who has said he will do it me at a cheap price I'm getting 2 windows put in,plastering all of inside,electric,tiled floors and my own front door on it .
its going to take a few months to do up but its going to be great i can access it via my back door.. all the rescue piggies can be housed in there and over the winter it will be beautiful and warm...
so excited o/h is going to start emptying it at the weekend with my step-son just wanted to tell you guys has i cant waitxx>>>xx>>>xx>>>
 
That is absolutely fabulous and I am so envious! The piggies and you will be so happy with all that space to play with!
 
What a great project, your ginnys will love it. If you have time, would be great to see work in progress photos and then the final result with the new occupants giving their seal of approval :))
 
That's a great idea, can you post photos of it when its finished please?
 
yeah will do I'm going to do a before in between and after but it will take some time to do...so o/h sezrolleyes but if i have my way:))rolleyesrolleyesrolleyesrolleyesrolleyes
 
Can't figure out how to PM you yet, but wanted to find out how Todd was, I think it was yourself that rehomed him from Layla?

We had been fostering him before he went to you and he stole my heart x) He was an aspiring houdini and always standing on top of his house and trying to climb out of his cage! Please give him a cuddle and a hug from me xoxo

Sounds great Claire, your hubby did say something about it when he dropped the piggies off.

Don't get too many hutches/cages in there though or I'll not be able to 'borrow' any piggies from you lol

Only joking, I'm sure there will be plenty of piggies to go around. :)
 
Great to hear that Todd is in seventh heaven with his own hareem :<> looking forward to the pics once your phone is sorted. x
 
wow lucky! we used to have an out house the same brick built with side access via a lockable door, but that was at our old house i miss it now i dont have it! we just used to use it for garden stuff i now think about what a piggie palace i could have made out of it had we still been there! cant wait to see it when its done!
 
Sounds like it's going to be fantastic! I also have a brick-built outbuilding, at the bottom of the garden, but there's no way I could do anything with it as it's filled to bursting with all kinds of garden equipment and essential junk! I know I'll have "out house" envy when I see your pics! Good luck with this project :)
 
Claire I just know it's going to be FAB!

I have one of those outhouses, wonder if I can convince my hubby..... bet I can't!

I also think the before and after and during pics would be brilliant.
 
o/h and his son my step son are starting to clear it today whoop whoop cant wait but dreading all the tip runs:))and sorting out its full with stuff most of it is **** things we dont want and its just got put in there out of the wayrolleyes and dreding the mice has we always get mice in there:)>>> but i cant help but to think that theyve done me a fav as i have been scared to go in my shed and make hubby go in first the do the checking:)) so he said ok think we will start doing the out house upxx>>>xx>>>
 
I bet it will be great when its done , once the hard work is done you can spend ages in there getting it just right, lucky piggies. Don't forget the pictures [I love before and after pictures]
 
the guinea piggys!

i know about guinea pigs. but i hate hamsters! they are :)>>>

imagine the front painted cream hanging baskets up window boxes and the window frames glossed white and the barn door glossed white inside will be done with masonry paint in cream and white
 
That will look amazingly good, it has come together so quickly!

all of the outside is going to be painted cream,,and inside the ceiling will be white and the walls cream with wood affect lino on the floor.got me little cupboard in there you can see on the pictures:(|) that I'm going to paint so i can store my guinea meds in it and the windows will have little blinds up:(|):(|)xxxohh and a light fitted
