A bit of an update on our grand building works... now the ground at the bottom of our garden has been cleared in preparation for Frankie and Jenny's new shed and we can actually see what we are dealing with, it's turned out that the work that needs doing is much more extensive than we originally thought We had a few more quotes for shoring it all back up and building a new retaining wall and the very best is still over £3K I knew there was a good chance that we would need something pretty major doing but I'm still really gutted that I'm not going to be able to get the buns a huge shed and run after all, at least not this summer
So now I don't know what to do :? I think spending that sort of money is out of the question for us right now, for various reasons, so that leaves me with three options:
1. Keep the rabbits in the existing Lavender Lodge and separate run setup, until such a time that we can sort out the end of the garden for the shed. The cons of this are that I work all day and so the rabs only get 3/4hrs a day in the run and honestly, I think they deserve better than that.
2. Invest in a Happy Hutch combined run and hutch. This isn't perfect as it would take up a lot of room in the garden (the existing run collapses when out of use) but would give the buns more space. The rabs I'm sure would be fine, but I might take a tumble one night :shock:
3. Buy a smaller playhouse and put it on the spare cleared at the bottom of the garden so far. The cons of this are that it's not that safe down at the bottom of the garden without the retaining wall (it's an 8ft drop into the garden behind us, we're on a very steep hill) but it would allow the buns more room.
At the moment I'm leaning towards option 2 but I'm just not sure :? This housing thing has been rumbling on for ages now and I just don't feel like I'm any closer to a solution. Sorry to sound so miserable, I'm just really disappointed about the whole shed thing What do you guys think?
