What to make out of these freebies

Post by Camel »

Had an idea in the back of my head for a couple of months now, and I wanted to do it on the cheap, so have been looking, scavenging and saving bits as I came across them.

Image

Two old ICB cages with the base taken off

Image

A hand full of corrugated iron and a few bits of corrugated plastic roofing off cuts

Image

Leftover bird netting

Image

And some old floating floor boards that I was given

Image

I am even using tec screws that come from tearing other things apart

Image

No plans, just fit it together as it comes. Got some other stuff laying around that needs using up that will go in this build. It won’t take long and I should have the lodgers in their new homes ImageImage

Not planning on getting into that much trouble mate, though with a red headed missus, you never know if you are going to be ok or totally in the shit. :lol:
