I have been meaning to share this information for a little while now, and just now have had the chance to do so. 
For anyone who is interested this is a "Piggy Condo". . .
My husband made it and I am going to share all the information with you so those of you interested can make your pigs one as well!
To begin with he measured the width of the cage and the back of the cage to the size desired. We only had four pigs housed in the cage at that time so we made the condo to fit four pigs.
Because the house is built in a L shape to perfectly fit in the corner of the cage it is easier to make the middle door a seperate piece of wood as shown above. My husband made all the door holes by placing a regular CD disk and tracing it to make the "perfect" sized circle.
Dividers were made to fit each pig so there would be less fighting over space.
So the lid could not be moved by the pigs hubby put pieces of wood on the inner sides of the "roof". The lid does lift right off for me to clean the house easily or if I need to "capture" a pig resting inside.
