Well, here's what it should look like when its done! lol




And today I went to B+Q to buy the wood and get it cut to size.





The top vivs are 2m long 60cm wide and 75cm high
The bottom one is 1m long 60cm wide and 50cm with a cupboard either side for storing bits and bobs in.
The white rectangle on the side represents the size of me just to give some perspective

Total cost so far £196

Will post pictures of the build and keep a track of all costs as I go along.

What do you think?

P.S. You sure you still want to help, BE?

Actually I want more than that, we've ordered Rohan a new bed (like Thomas') that'll need putting together if you're ok to help?

using MB's original dimensions of 2m long you'll need something big to put in them!

Here's the update, including pictures.

New costs total £41 and are made up of vents, iron on edging strip, handles for the cupboards, hinges for cupboards and no more nails. Total price so far £237.





The first two pieces are screwed together. A side and a plinth





The other side piece and the back are also fitted.





The opposite plinth is added





The top and bottom are added





A quick lie down for a rest





Repeat the process and you have two! Looking good BE!





The cupboards and bottom viv begin to take shape





Cutting holes for vents





The end of a good day's work
