New run, phase one complete/ 30th U/D phase 2 compleleted

Hugo's There · May 17, 2009

I know it doesn't look much yet, but it has taken weeks!

Originally it was a really high rockery which has taken weeks to dig out :roll: We then laid chicken wire and turf on top. Half of it has died as it was really hot and dry when it was laid but with all this wet weather it is starting to make a come back

We can't make the lid yet as we are waiting for Happy Hutch to deliver our custom made hutch to sit on top.

Hopefully it will be Bundy and Imogen's new home, if they ever decide to get on.

Building runs and doing a difficult bond at the same time is not recommended :lol:

Now come Bundy & Imogen please fall in love for your mummy & daddy so can move into your new pad when it's finished

Phase 2 is now completed. We were hoping to get the whole thing finished today but the heat has beaten us. I really want it finished as we have been building bunny accomodation every weekend and some weekdays for around 9 weeks now. I am so sick of willow wood stain

:lol:

I just hope Bundy and Imogen appreciate it

The hutch doesn't look that big in the piccys but it is pretty large, the 2 buns look quite lost in it

awhh Thats really good

How will they get to the run? Or will they be lifted into it? x

Hugo's There · May 30, 2009

Because it is grass they will not be able to have 24 access to the run, so they will be taken out every morning and put back in at night

We need to be able to keep them off at night to be able to water it.

If it was concrete we would have made a ramp as that would need no maintenance, but Imogen has sore hocks so can only exercise on grass.

They have been in the hutch for a couple of nights now, but this is the first time they will have been in it in its proper place

they are using the run with supervision, but I can't wait to get the lids made so they can have it all day and evening

Imogen and Bundy are two lucky bunnies.

louise and Gus · May 30, 2009

Wow you have been busy again! Looks great

Looking good, what kind of wood stain did you use.
Mike has been out welding our runs today and we will paint with hammerite (green) before the weldmesh goes on, but I'd like to paint the hutches in a matching/ complementary colour with wood stain.

It must be so good to feel like you are moving forward, I wish I could feel like that just now.

rabswood · May 30, 2009

Looks very neat and tidy

The green is cuprinol willow wood stain and the cream is wilkos exterior gloss, but we have only put that in the places the buns can't reach

I always paint the frames before putting the mesh on, I find it so much easier.

I guess we are moving forward but have got to the point now where I feel like I am going insane with it, I just want it to be over.

We still want to replace the food/piggy shed and want to convert a bycycle storage shed for some other buns but really nee d to take a break from it for a while.

That's the way it is though, isn't it, there is always something else to be done.
Still, you have to pace yourselves so you don't get ' scunnered'. ( a scottish work for fed up.:lol
