Helpful hints for building coops

[jvls1942]

I am getting new glasses also.
I had my eyes checked on Thursday at the VA.
they will send my glasses to me to save me a
90 mile round trip.

this is the first time I went to the VA for glasses. I never knew they were available.
going back there in March for a hearing test.
I don't know if they can help me with my right
ear.. I lost most of the hearing in it from a loud gun shot.. it hurt lile 7734 for a couple of days afterward. huh ??

got nothing done today. had company most of the afternoon. our favorite niece came here. she doesn't do that very often.
her husband is a judge here in town.
she was a grade school teacher, then a principal for many years. then went back to teaching and now she tends bar at the Elk's Lodge part time for something to do
while waiting for the retirement checks to come rolling in..

Cappy, you could go into selling cages etc.
I told Annie that I wish I had done something like that when I was young instead of busting
my butt building houses..

of course I would have had to move away from here to do that. around here people are too cheap to pay what a good coop is worth..

I am considering making some rabbit cages and maybe brooders to sell. Once i get all my own stuff built.

yeah Cappy, but if you keep getting more rabbits by purchasing or the natural way;
when are you going to be finished making your own cages ?

I took pictures of the puppies with my phone.
I am trying to learn the process of sending them from the phone instead of from the camera..
I'm not very good at it, yet.

One suggestion on picture taking of animals, get down on their level or put them in a basket or something up high where you can see how cute their eyes are. I sure want to hug one or three!
I do not want to get too many bunnies, hence why i cage each in their own cage. But i also want goats, quail etc. And i have a lot of fencing to do....so not having a lot of spare time any day soon!

I tried the basket method, I didn't like the results. too sterile looking.
as far as getting down to their level; who is going to help me back up ?
with my camera I can zoom in.
IDK about the phone, yet..

Ha!!! I hear ya, Brother!

Idk, put them up on the sofa?
I got as much done on the bunny cage as i can do until it is moved.

Still needs legs, roof, and doors which are ready to go on. Yes!

Today i put the bunny condo up on the trailer by myself! I was not able to find my washers and nuts so i may have to buy new ones.
I did find the bunny water nipples and the cage clamps and pliers so i was happy about that.
And i built a bunny nest box , just the top left to make, put hinges on and attach to cage. Need to get ready for baby bunnies!
