Rabbit Shed


For the past couple of days, we have been working on the rabbit shed.

It is a 20' x 10' building (and will eventually have outside pens too) - enough space to house 12 does, 2 bucks, babies and all their feed and bedding.

With the land leveled and the post holes dug, we raised the 20' wall panels that Abe had welded into place. We then leveled them both. Once everything was level and square, Abe welded the connecting walls, so that the whole building is a nice, strong, welded box. We then poured concrete in the post holes.

Next week we will put the metal roof and asphalt board walls on.

Pretty productive couple of days, especially considering how damned hot it was.
