Default First Bin Cage - Work in Progress

Building our first bin cage is truly a family project in our house! Hubby cut out the holes that I had already marked out with our (his) new Dremel, which worked pretty well. No cracks at all; the edges are just a little uneven. After some sanding down, the edges are now smooth. The mesh/hardware cloth was a little tricky to work with, but I managed to get the lid/cover mesh piece cut and attached with only a few scratches on my hands. We found that attaching the mesh to the lid with the zip ties was the easiest part so far, and we're pleased with the way the finished lid looks (thanks to our Hello Kitty Duck tape). Hopefully the rest of the project turns out just as pretty!

Thanks so much, everyone! Yes, we knew we just had to have the pink Hello Kitty Duck tape for our cage as soon as we saw it!

Update - Our first bin cage is finally finished! It was a fun project for us, and we are quite happy with the way it has turned out. Not bad for a first attempt. Comments, critiques and suggestions welcome! Thanks for all of the info and advice we found here on the forum! We couldn't have done it without your help!
