Default Converting a guinea pig cage.

I've given up trying to find a decently sized bin to make a cage from, and I don't really feel up to the in-depth diy needed by an ikea hack, so I was thinking about meshing a guinea pig cage. Today I stopped at a charity yard sale and spotted a 42" x 18" for only $30! I wanted to think about it so went away and when I got back later this evening she gave it to me for $20!!!

I've scrubbed the whole thing down with bleach and it's drying in the laundry room over night. I won't be able to finish the meshing until Monday because I don't quite have enough on hand. What I have currently is 1/2" mesh but would another size be better? Perhaps 1/2" X 1"?

Can't wait to have it all meshed and start decorating it with toys! Peach is going to be so happy Now to find another ginormous cage for Timmy...
