Default Housing help

I've not been on for a while for personal reasons but I need a bit of advice.
History first, feel free to skip to the bottom for the question.

I have 3 female dwarf sisters (who now all live alone )
The most active & smallest one who likes to climb is in a zoozone2. (Zippy)
The biggest one is in a 3ft tank but seems to only use one side, although I can't be sure and she loves her wheel. (Squishy)
The blind one is in a storage bin which is about 2ft and she loves to dig so has about 7ichs of substrate. (Rosey)

Now all three enjoy digging, their wheels and generally wondering/running about. They aren't handled that often as they are never awake when I am, but only Zippy has a real dislike of being picked up.

We are a little cramped with all these cages dotted around, one in my OH's study, one in the hallway and one in the living room. And to top it off we are moving house next month.

Now you have a bit of history and their set-up, the question.

We need an idea for a nice looking cage set up for all three, that will be relatively cheap and take up as little space as possible, while allowing them to have the space they need and plenty of depth for substrate and easy access.

How about....three storage Bins the same size, mesh them on the front and stack them? You could even use parts from old cages which already have cage doors and just detach these from the old cages and secure them to the front of your bin cages using screws and washers. Then you can leave the actual lids on the storage boxes (for sturdy stacking) and have your ventilation at the front and for hanging your water bottles.

Or Buy a three tiered Imac Fantasy and they could have a level each? Someone in Market Place has one for sale. x

If you look on the 2014 let's see your cages thread, 'Sanctuary' has a very nice stack of vivariums. They are very big (4ft) so have plenty of space and the glass allows you to add plenty of substrate and have a clear view of them . You'd have to ask her how she ventilated the vivs, although it'd be an easy job most likely. They look really nice, I wish I could do something like that but I never manage to find cheap vivariums and I already have nice cages.
