kriti 274 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 looks good mate but not sure bout the plastic sheeting and would def remove the fitted carpet, I have old t shirts and hand towels for bedding, just take out and put in wash once a week and replace with a clean one, jobs done. good luck Quote Link to post
