YES! I FINALLY DID IT! The ratties have a new palace! I started the project around 5 o'clock yesterday, my friend came over and helped me cut out the wood and linoleum. We stopped around 11 o'clock last night. I am just finishing up some things right now, like adding the door latches. I need to put the holes in the levels tomorrow, my dad has to bring home a big hole saw bit from work. Hopefully by tomorrow night or Tuesday the ratties can move into their new penthouse. The cage cost a whopping $62!
And this whole time Sammy has been the biggest help...Batting screws around, chewing on linoleum strips, crawling around in the cage, chewing on the chicken wire-yep a big help alright! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

For some reason the camera adds a weird blue tint to the cage:

I will post more pictures once the ratties actually get to move in.
What do you think of the abode!?
