ETA this bit was written 3 days ago, I couldn't get the photos uploaded!!
Thanks to a couple of facebook freebies (an Ikea table and a single wardrobe!) Odin and Freja now have some new housing - rather stylish if I say so myself! I'm quite chuffed with it, chopped the end off the wardrobe to make the smaller tunnel, the door opens on top for ease of cleaning the big tunnel, the house and the small tunnel just pull away to clean. No floors on anything, and we've put a EVA horsebox mat under it all for warmth and a nice soft permanent surface.
Next task is to fill in the side to make steps up to the upper deck (another freebie, midsleeper bed) and to complete the floor above - until now they've just had half of it because that's what we had when we pushed all the bed slats together.
And then I need to make a fabric-hammock-roofed box to take the place of the cardboard baby box- they seem to really like snuggling into the dipped hammocky lid, so I want to make a permanent versio for them, and give them an enclosed box beneath too. For now it is also giving Odin a bit of reassurance as he struggles with new housing arrangements - seems to have worked, so far they have really enjoyed exploring and then falling asleep in the hammock lid!
