Trish_1967 0 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 in reply to the one and wjr, that wood is exterior OSB. the roof will be felt Looks good to me. I paid £130 for one about that size from a pet retailer and so wish I had done it myself now as have had to more than 'modify' it. Trish x Quote Link to post

Halfinch 51 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Looking good paddy, just a bit of advice, imho: I'd put some support from left to right under the front of both ground and upper floors to stop bowing over time, Stirling board is renowned for it. A length of 2x1 or similar should suffice. Otherwise mate, i'd say the jobs a goodun. Quote Link to post
paddy.t 5 Posted April 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 got it finished today, and moved the ferrets in , just got to paint it now Quote Link to post
