Here I am! Been keeping away from this thread until I have time to read through it all but Bambam said you missed me. Nice to know that seeing a pile of decomposing excrement makes you think of me

Nice pics, both of the piggies and the goats.

Deb, the nest box is ok, but I need to add something for traction in the entrance I think. On the other hand, it will keep baby bunnies from escaping until they're big enough to get back in.

Bama, now I've been doing school stuff, my previous employer decided to cut 30% of the staff and me being on a fixed term contract meant it didn't get renewed. It was fun while it lasted though.

I missed the intro, but what kind of a mill are we designing? Oyster shell crushing? Got a creek that can be utilized for water power or something? Maybe a wind powered mill? I've got some ideas spinning around in my head... Super cheap DIY stuff too =)

And here's a few pics of the nest box mentioned:











The box is a 130 liter Ikea container, and the entrance is a 5 liter bucket, held in place by 3 zip ties.

@vehve you will be excellent at almost anything you attempt. Cool looking raccoon trap

@vehve

How long are the bunnies kept in the "trap"?

HEY!!

It was my idea!

Seriously, though, you could get iron pipe, weld a plug in one end, fill it with sand, cap the other end, and use the lift and release method that was mentioned earlier.....OR....... you could build the mill stones from concrete on sight..... just thinking out loud.........
