Default Bin Cage!!!

So I just made a bin cage this weekend. It's amazing. I used pieces from an old playpen that he honest to god hated, and the front of his old cage for to door. Goliath loves his new cage!!!
I would get you guys pictures but alas, I have not a camera to my name and no way to get it on here anyway. :/

God, it took me all Saturday to really get started but once I did it was easy. A tip to those using a soldering iron: Let gravity help you!!!
He has so much more room for toys and what-not and it's much easier to move. It's gonna be a pain to clean though, I can tell.

Yeah... this morning he decided it would be very funny to put his toilet paper bedding up to his waterbottle so that it leaked...

Cool. As many have said, shame about you not being able to post any pics.

Here's the latest mods to mine.
The bottom box will be the next add-on which will be a big sandbox / play area of Buster
This is going to be joined internally to the top bin with a ramp. I'm going to put a hole in the base of the upper bin and the lid of the lower. There will also be a tub with a hole in the bottom, glued around the hole in the floor of the top bin to prevent as much bedding as possable from escaping to the lower level.
Good luck with yours, hope it has given you as much satisfaction to build as it is fun for Goliath to play in.
