Ah, that's more like it...

We finally got around to cleaning out and fixing our new cage up for Chloe and Violet. For the cage to be of cheaply made, it's actually pretty sturdy! It also looks a lot bigger tan the black one that we bought a couple years ago. There are very few damaged spots on the cage, but the drop tray was a complete nightmare!

There was a pretty decent size crack along the base, but we figured some silicone would fix that right up... wrong! The entire time we were trying to apply it, it would slip and get all goopy and nasty. While we were in the middle of repairing it, I turned and asked LaVaughn, "Exactly how long does it take for this stuff to dry?" with a discouraged look, she replied, "24 hours." That's when I said "screw this" and went for the glue. I'm SO glad this took place in the garage, it would have made a hideous mess in the house.

After 30 minutes of gluing and wining, I thought to myself, "What about our old drop tray? The one that came with the black cage?" I quickly jumped to my feet and headed out the door. And of course, my outside mission was in the middle of a horrid rain storm. I walked around the house, then proceeded to the chicken coop/barn. As soon as I walked in the gate, I remember that the drop tray was in behind the coop from when we covered the armadillos cage! For the armadillo story, click HERE!

I ran back the the house, washed the drop tray off and then proceeded to the garage. And luckily, it fit! Since the cage it white, the black drop tray looked a tad off, but not too bad. At least it fit and at least we don't have to try and fix the piece of shit that came with it.

And you know those Guillotine doors that come with the cages? The ones that slide up and down? Well, we changed those from slide up and down to pull up and out doors! I watched a Youtube video about it a while back and told LaVaughn. Being the awesome, handy ladies that we are, we didn't need instructions. The downside is that we didn't have any extra hinges lying around, so we has to make one with a ziptie. It worked though.

We got the cage in the glider room and got everything sit up. And do you remember all those pre-made cage sets that we made a couple weeks ago? Well all but one of those sold and we both took it as a sign to keep it for the girls. And that we did! Unfortunately, we were a couple c-links short (thanks a lot, Erika!!) so we had to tie a couple things. It doesn't look bad, though.

Now all we need are some good wheels! Time to go rob a bank... :O)

Love & Peace
