Default Re: Ive been keeping a secret...

oooh let me work that out lol.

The MDF was £12 at B&Q and they cut it to the measurements I wanted,
The 2x4 timber was £7 at B&Q
The wood planks were £5 at B&Q
The perspex was £18 at Homebase
Hinges were £2.10 at Wilkinsons
The handles were £1 for 4 at The Range
Mesh was £4 but bought it for my carrier so didnt cost extra at Wilkinsons
The gloss for the outside which the colour is called putty was £3 at B&Q
The locks were £3 at The Range
The floor tiles were £4 for 16tiles at Poundland
Screws, woodglue, etc were all in my house from previous diy attempts
= £59.10
Not bad for 3 good size cages considering you'd pay more than that for 1 HH

That is amazing. Especially as you made it from scratch and not out of a unit.
I wish I could make something like that, I need someone to make me one!!

You should start making them and selling them, I'd buy one for sure!

It took about a week and a half all together but that was on and off not constant, just when I had a spare hour x
I got the background free as a sample from the wallpaper section of the range xx
