Thanks Gary
I have to keep it interesting and always changing for them...it's their cage/room (it's where they live). So they need as much mental stimulation as possible. It's a 7ftx7ft room

Love! Someone is doing a cool paint job too. How hard was it to get the PVC in curls?

I painted the murals on the walls
thanks....and it wasn't hard at all. You bake a pan of play sand in a baking pan 500 deg. for 15-20 minutes...and then you take a cap and put on one end of the pipe and then use a funnel to pour the sand into the pipe from the pan...make sure you wear protective gloves it gets HOT!!!!!! Then you cap on the other end and whatever shape you want you can bend it freely around something and then slide it off once it's cooled or (just hold it into place if you aren't swirling it) until the sand cools.

Thanks y'all
Connie, the toys that you sent are a great addition and can't wait for the babies to get up tonight and see them. And Ofcourse they're spoiled Nancy
I can't wait to finish Lani and Boo's corner room. We got a little behind on it but it'll be done in the next week or 2.

What a cool place for your babies to live!!
May I ask how you clean it? Is it pretty easy to keep clean? I have an empty spare room...

Re: Updated pics of my glider room - 06/04/12 06:43 AM
we put linoleum on top of the carpet so as to keep the carpet nice and clean because we rent. And all I have to do is every day or every other day go in and sweep it up and then I do a thorough cleaning once a week and use hot water and vinegar or sometimes just hot water to wash all the pvc down and then I scrub the floors and use a steamer to get underneath the wall where stuff gets crammed. It's so much easier then a cage.
I used regular indoor paint for the walls and then painted over them with acrylic paints for the mural and it just wipes clean when they decide to have a food fight.

Now that is a dedicated mama glider
Does it take long to clean it? Does it smell? How do you enter without being afraid that one of your gliders can be in front of the door and might get squished or escaped?

Re: Updated pics of my glider room - 06/04/12 09:01 PM
It takes about 5 minutes to sweep daily and then my full out cleaning takes about 30-45 minutes to complete. It doesn't smell unless I get behind on washing pouches or switching them out. I tap on wall and say in your pouch and they jump in their pouch until I get in there and lock it from the inside.

Woe Vona you need to come train my lil buggers. They make me play hide and seek for an hour to get them back in their cages.

Re: Updated pics of my glider room - 06/05/12 01:35 PM
And Lani and Boo know they aren't getting their food or treats until they get back in their monkeycliner lol

Awesome job! Where's you get the chains for the trampoline and running bridges?
So super jealous I don't have an extra room. Why, oh why, do I need to sleep in my bedroom? LOL

I love the creativity and especially the way you integrated the toys & accessories into the mural! It looks "absolutely glider fabulous" and I'm sure they have a ball in there.

Re: Updated pics of my glider room - 06/18/12 02:10 AM
It took us maybe 2 days to get it all figured up from dimensions needed to getting it all painted and what not. Thanks so much for the compliments
Thanks Hannah. The lil fuzzbutts still say you can come play with 'em
Plenty of room. Angel will just have to lick each of your hands from wrist to finger tips on the palm and top of the hand before you can play lol. But after that you're good to go. Or she'll groom your neck and head a bit then you'll be accepted. lol

We didn't want our babies in a cage...so we had the extra room and decided we had a room, our daughter has a room and our dog has the whole house lol so the suggies needed a room too.

I feel the same!!! When you see rooms like this, no matter how nice the cage is, it's just the same as a whole room! However those of us who can only have cages, and tents at this time, we'll drool in envy
