Well at long last I am at the point where I can now paint Tom and Tiny's enclosure. But once again, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I really should have painted everything before assembling it alltogether. Because now, I have the difficult task of reaching over the covers to paint the back fence and the new wood that was used for the covers. And also trying not to get one colour paint on to the other. But still. I am very pleased with the results so far and as you can see the painting really makes it look better.

Inside the shed

The mesh door has been added, because in the afternoon the sun shines on the back of the shed, so I can now open the door and let the sun shine into Tom and Tiny, who have already worked out that, that is the best place to be in the afternoon.

The finished enclosure. Just the rest of the painting to do.

For some reason, (probably my lack of camera skills) the enclosure looks like it sweeps around a corner, but in actual fact it is in a straight line.

A great looking enclosure, I am sure the tortoises will appreciate all the hard work done.
