Helpful hints for building coops

[jvls1942]

we had a warm up. I guess it was the January thaw. well, it is over. rained this morning, turned to snow around noon.. wet slippery snow. only a couple of inches. I think it is over, but the driving is treacherous .. all schools are closed..
now the temperature is dropping, soon will be in single digits. winter is back, :-(

I sent the digital angle gauge back. going to look at one at Harbor Freight. going to try it out before I buy it.

didn't do much of anything lately. no ambition..

The weather is ugly outside and foggy. Hubby is late getting home. Maybe got held up at the MD office.
I built a nest box out of a drawer. It was exactly the right length to fit between 2x4s ! Now it needs to be painted.
I marked the next piece of paneling, just having a tea break and back at it.

So here is the latest on the workshop...

I finished painting the nest box today. And started putting screws and nails in the storage bins.

Cappy, hint,
when you put your nails/screws/hdwe items in the bins.. tape or glue one on the outside edge of the bin. then you can see what is in the bin without having to look inside each one.
another one of those
do as I say,, not as I do..

I did consider that but instead i cut the description off the box and slid it into the slot in the front of each bin. You know i am going to look anyway...

I'm glad you are happy with your new rabbits.
I tried rabbits a few times, but never really got into them.
when we were kids, my brother got a huge white rabbit. we lived in town. the rabbit had free range of our yard. it played with my dog. they would chase and wrestle like two puppies..

I have two 11ft x 4ft raised pens that would be perfect for rabbits. I housed just about every kind of fowl in them.
haven't used them for a few years, now.
