My 2x5 C&C came in today. I spent the majority of my afternoon moving my furniture around so I could make room for a 6 foot table to put the C&C on. I decided to keep my pigs in my room instead of having them isolated in the spare room across the hall. I got them to love them, and I feel like I can't do that, to my satisfaction, if they are in a room I rarely venture into.
My room is quite small, and yes, I am still living with my parents, so my room or the spare room are my only options, and I've decided the spare room isn't happening. My room is pretty cramped up now, and it's not something that I personally enjoy. It's not particularly "pretty," but I'm doing it for the benefit of my piggies.
After building my C&C, my dad and I realized that our six foot long table and six foot long C&C weren't given the proper dimensions. My C&C is falling off the table and breaking apart. Now we'll have to make the cage slightly smaller, by overlapping the grids by 1-2 squares width and length. This means we're going to have to figure out a way to redo Sue's coroplast to fit the new "smaller" cage, and it's very possible we'll just end up destroying it and needing more coro.
I'm just feeling pretty lousy for having to make the cage smaller, even if it's just a slight modification. All I want to do is give my pigs the best I can and right now I feel like I'm failing.
Maybe it's just because it's finals week at college, but having to modify the "piggie mansion" has put me in the dumps. Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day...:sorry:
