OK, well the bloke in the Allied Carpets nearly fell on the floor laughing when we offered to buy this tiny off cut! We've bought enough to go on the floor in the dining room too under the cage.... We've also been to B&Q and got the perspex. The Slug is currently downstairs bringing his tools up, but here are some current shots of our backbedroom!

OK, just for Wheekies.... here's the slug scoring the perspex here's the slug breaking the perspex next the slug made holes in the corner pieces to countersink the screws and these are the end pieces put together The whole outside square is made but is standing tall in the bedroom like a wardrobe with no back or doors and I cant fit in it one pic! you'll have to wait. By the way, now he's put it together he will take it apart to varnish the corner bits and make the window holes on the front side.

Hmmm, yes unfortunately, its taking to acting like a slug at weekends. It wont get up, and wont budge even if you poke it! It just lays there all slug like in the bed! That's why I suggested putting some salt in the bed, or as Wheekies suggested some beer near the door to try and get him out of the bed! Ive told him, he's up early tomorrow B&Q opens at 7am! He was a bit like this Ive told him, its B&Q back home, and then get a moving those arms and get the cage finished! He's just dug the Jigsaw out of the cupboard so knows what new blades he needs for that too! As a treat for Wheekies this is it at the moment, laid out on the floor with no windows etc....

I know, flaming typical. I bought that wood two weeks ago because I thought it was 15% then! DOH!
Well at least he'll get the "mechanical" bits with 20% off (including the fence panels!)

And mechanical type bits are normally more expensive so it's still good and you'll still save loads ;D
