Anybody got any plans for a ferret hutch?

Question

I want to build a new cage/hutch for my ferret, without buying one, (not because I'm hard up or anything, it's solely so I can have the satisfaction of knowing it's unique and I've made it myself).

I was wondering if anybody had any plans I could use as rough guidelines or anything, to build a wooden hutch for one male ferret? Which contains an area of shade, toilet, food/water, rest and run (for the odd occassion that he isn't running around the house =D)

Thank you so much in anticipation,

Don't use wood you can't clean it like plastic and if your ferret has an accident not in the litterbox the smell stayed there forver and also the ferret oils stick to the wood. you of course cant use wood polish or anything to clean it.
