We built a new Guinea Pig enclosure, and it's a glorious one at that! Based on a geodesic dome design, it's big enough to leave in one spot for quite a while without the hungry little critters eating down to bare earth. I am quite proud to say I did most of the construction myself!!
It's also big enough for the girls to get inside easily. They love to get in there, pick up a guinea and sit with them. I recently accepted the offer of a free male guinea pig, so we are expecting babies in a couple of weeks (thus needing bigger guinea pig digs).
Des also built a couple of raised vege beds, using recycled corrugated steel, some old hose on the top edges and some old bits of timber we had collected. I created a net frame over the top with some bamboo and old poly pipe. We need the netting to keep out the possums as well as our chooks.
With the cooler weather I have brought out the knitting again. These are some slippers I made for myself using some wool I had leftover from something else.
Next is the refurbishment of the fireside chair, as well as some more knitting...
Love the fabulous guinea pig cage!
ReplyDeleteLove the slippers and the piggies new home :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by Ruby and Kez - the guineas like their new home too :)
ReplyDeleteThat's one thing I'd love to learn to knit is some slipper socks. I'll have to be a bit proactive in getting someone to help me this year. Might have to organise a skills trade off again for those willing. What type of wool did you use?
ReplyDeleteAnyway the yard, is looking very organised, you're doing a fabulous job. Warmest wishes, Renelle
I think the wool is mostly acrylic-not sure. I'm knitting a pair at the moment using a wool blend. It's a very easy pattern, as my kntiing skills are quite basic, so I'm sure you would be able to do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments :)
that's one fancy enclosure. We have foxes and cats around here so I have to be pretty careful about them being outside.
