What is the point of pets if they don’t require a large project?
Mom has decided that the original cage for the guinea pigs is fine for now, but they should really have something much grander. Mom recruited Charles to the cause, letting him make a drawing of what a good guinea pig storage facility should look like. The end result was a two story mansion. Mom decided to try and build it as designed.
What you see here is the outer frame of the new GPM. Mom is busy sawing away to get the internal framing ready. Charles has blown hot and cold on the project. He enjoyed doing the drawings, but then didn’t much like the initial frame assembly, until the near the end when he became enthused again.
Alice spends her time prancing around the worksite while Mom gets ulcers worrying about her getting splinters or smashing the frame to bits by swinging on one of the cross beams.
Corwin had Keith and Josh over to visit. They all had fun with the guinea pigs, sitting and watching television with them (the g’piggies seem to like TV). Corwin almost let one of them escape in to the depths of the couch but manage to stop the g’piggy before it was too late.
So far, only Mom has experience guinea pig containment failure, She’s been peed on twice and pooped on once so far.
