Q: A large cage is important because it gives your guinea pig a large area to explore. The larger the cage is, the better off your guinea pig will be. At a minimum, each guinea pig should have 7.5 square feet of cage. That's a cage that's approximately 3 by 2.5 feet. If you can, go for a bigger cage, so your guinea pig will need less exercise outside of its cage. You can buy a cage for a guinea pig. However, most cages that are labelled for guinea pigs are not big enough. You can find ones meant for other animals, though, that will work for guinea pigs. Pick one that has metal bars on the side, not wood, as guinea pigs can't chew through metal. Also, make sure it has a solid floor. Guinea pigs' feet are easily damaged by floors that are made of wire, so it needs to be solid to protect your guinea pig. Go for a larger floor space rather than one that has many levels. Floor space is more important. Another option is making your own. You can make your own cages out of wire fences on the floor with other materials underneath. One option is to use corrugated correx or corrugated coroplast, available from sign making shops. Start with cube grids. Cube grids can be reconfigured to any size to make an outward "cage." Cut the correx or coroplast to fit. You can use the material as a floor, then use more of it to create a border around the floor. Tape it together from the outside. Add newspapers and hay for your guinea pig to complete the cage.
A: Buy a large enough cage. Buy one commercially. Build your own.

Article: There are several things you'll need to clean a Formica countertop before painting, because you have to remove grease and sand the surface before you can paint. To clean and prepare the counter, you'll need: Bucket Grease-cutting cleanser Sponge or scrub pad 150-grit sandpaper Vacuum Damp rag or cloth Dry rag or cloth In order to paint your counter properly, you need to completely clear the surface. Remove any appliances, dinnerware, food, storage containers, plants, and decorations that are on the counter and store them elsewhere. You can store items in cupboards, pantries, on the kitchen table, or in the basement or garage. Do not store items on the floor around where you'll be working. To protect the sink from paint and cleaning products, it's best to remove the sink from the counter. Start by shutting off the water supply to the sink. Before you remove the sink, you'll also have to remove the faucet. Use a wrench to unscrew the nuts attaching the faucet to the water supply. Remove the pipe, unscrew the nuts holding the faucet in place, and remove the faucet. Use a screwdriver to remove the long screws attaching the sink to the counter. Disconnect the sink from the water supply and drain pipes. Loosen the sink from the counter with a screwdriver if necessary, and remove the sink. If removing the sink isn't an option, cover the basin and sides of the sink with plastic, and tape the plastic in place. With a sponge or scrubbing pad, clean the entire surface of your counter with a grease-fighting cleanser. When you're done, wipe the counter down with a clean, damp rag to remove leftover dirt, grease, and cleanser. Then wipe the counter with a dry rag and let it air dry for 30 minutes. Good grease-fighting cleansers for this job include: Trisodium phosphate: In a bucket, mix cup (4 ounces) of TSP with gallon (1.9 L) of water Denatured alcohol Ammonia-based cleaners, such as oven, all-purpose, and glass and window cleaners One problem with painting Formica is that it's smooth and slippery, so the best way to get paint to adhere is to make the surface rougher. You can do this easily with sandpaper. Use a piece of 150-grit sandpaper or a sanding sponge. Rub the entire surface with the sandpaper or sponge. Apply even pressure with the sandpaper. Don't forget corners, edges, and crevices. Once you've gone over the entire counter with sandpaper, vacuum the area to pick up dust and dirt that was left behind by the sanding. Then, wipe the whole surface down with a damp cloth. Dry the surface with a dry cloth, and then allow the counter to sit for at least 30 minutes to air dry completely.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Gather your cleaning supplies. Clear everything off the counter. Remove the sink. Wipe down the counter with a degreasing cleanser. Sand the counter. Vacuum and clean the area.

Q: Pick fabric or leather moccasin loafers for a purely casual shoe. Opt for suede, lightweight textures, and plain leather loafers if you want shoes that are adaptable to both casual and dressed-up looks. Select patent leather loafers for a more formal style. Wear suede and lightweight textured loafers in the spring and summer. Look for sturdy material like leather if you'll be wearing them in cold seasons. Loafers with pointed toes are a more elegant style than rounded toes. High-heeled loafers can look more dressy than flats, especially in shiny leather. Moccasins are casual and make good house shoes. Penny loafers, apron loafers and Italian loafers go with casual or dressy outfits. Tuxedo loafers in patent leather are for formal events. Penny loafers have a leather strip over the front, with a slot that can fit a penny (hence their name). They make a great go-to shoe in oxblood leather. Moccasin loafers have a weave, or "vamp," across the top of the shoe. Apron loafers have an extra piece of material across the top of the shoe, and the toes are finished off with stitches. Italian loafers have a metal clasp over the top of the shoe. Stick to simple versions of this shoe in classic blacks and browns. Wear these for business for example, with dress pants or casually, for instance with jeans. Choose basic shades or colors for more adaptability. Pick bolder hues if you plan to wear them seldomly, and want your loafers to steal the show. However, avoid gaudy colors and patterns such as hot pink or animal prints which can veer into tacky territory. Shades of black and dusty brown are versatile and classic. Navy is versatile in leather and suede. Burgundy can adapt to different looks and adds a pop of color. Pale colors like sea green and powder blue are casual, summery options. Neutrals can be mixed and matched with many colors in your outfit. Put the shoes on in the store, and test them by walking around a bit. If you're buying shoes online, measure the length and width of your feet. Check the measurements against the measurement of the shoes. Some shoes can be more comfortable after they're broken in. However, you don't want them to be too large, too tight, or quickly uncomfortable. If your feet are in between sizes, pick the next half size up. If you have feet that are slightly different sizes, opt for the larger sized-shoe. Get adhesive pads for this purpose, which you place in the heel of the shoe for the smaller foot. It's not advisable to buy cheap loafers (or leather shoes). You may be wearing them without socks at times, and they need to be resilient in warmth and sweat. The cost of loafers can vary hundreds of dollars, so check online reviews to make sure you're going to get your money's worth. Quality leather shapes well to your foot, resulting in more comfort. It also wears well over time.

Choose a material. Select a shoe style. Pick a color. Try them on. Pay for longevity.
