        Ok ,I have a funny story to tell, about the day I got the coroplast that I am going to use for the bottem of my bunny cage.

        Ok the day started out  when I went to Cross country running practice. People asked me what I was going to do for the rest of the day.

        I said, “Oh I am going to pick out pumpkins and go and buy Coroplast at a coroplast store.”

        “Coroplast?” they say, “Isn’t that the green stuff in plants?”

        “No, no,” I reply, “That’s Cloroplast.”

        “Oh,” they say, “well then what is coroplast?”

        “Coroplast,” I say, “Is kind of like plastic cardboard, It has the stuff inbetween the two sheets of plastic, people use it to make sighns.”

        “Oh,” they say, “so why do you need Cloroplast or cloropast or coroplast or whatever you call it?”

        “Its coroplast,” I say,” and I need it for my bunny cage.”

        “Oh,” they say, “that bunny AGAIN.”

        “Yea….” I mutter.

         

        Moving on:

        In the coroplast store I had the measurements all ready for what size I was going to cut it… in inches.

        Luckey me they only measured things in feet and they only gave pre-cut peices of coroplast 4×8 feet.

        So I was in the store looking like an idiot doing the math of how many sheets of 4×8 I would need ( I cannot do math under pressure)

        Finally I figured that I would have to buy 3 sheets of 4×8 and have some left over.

        We got the three sheets and they were HUGE.

        We tried unsuccesssfully to fit them in our car. And a store person had to help us fit it in our car.

        Driving home we had to leave the trunk open so the coroplast would fit in the car ( looking out the open trunk while driving made me feel like I was going to fall out the car.)

        It was a blazing hot day so we were dying in the car on the way home, because we could not put the air conditioner on or it would just waise energy.

        Finally we got the coroplast home…. but now we needed to find a place to put it.

        We had to jam it into the ironing room and after some scuffaling and shifting of things it finally fit in the ironing room.

         

        So that was my fun day with buying the coroplast!

              My coroplast adventure was the same! Trying to fit the sheets into our little Barina was just impossible & we actually ended up accidently bending one sheet too far & having it snap on one side.

                lol… for some reason when i bought mine i hadn’t thought fitting a 4×8 sheet into my vw golf would be a problem.  duh.  fortunately i had my cuts all planned out & had them cut it down once so it would fit.  got a few strange looks in the store when they found out what i was using it for.  but that stuff is great!  i love how well it wipes down & that i can soak it in the tub periodically for a good cleaning.
