I have been trying to decide between getting a complete new house for the rabbits, or fixing up the one they have. I have decided to work out the costs for each, and see what would be better.
I was considering getting corrugated plastic for the roof, instead of re-felting it, but looking at the costs it is far cheaper to re-felt it. I just don't know how easy re-felting will be due to the positioning of the house. For corrugated plastic I looked at the likes of B&Q, Wickes, Homebase... does anyone know of any other places that are better, and possibly cheaper? I would prefer the corrugated plastic, but as it stands, it looks like I will be figuring out how to move the house!
My other issue is putting a window in the inside part. My plan is to attach mesh over the window, and then have a piece of clear plastic that is removable. I think that would be better than just mesh so it can keep it warmer in the winter, stopping any drafts but also be removable for in the summer, to allow some fresh air in. I have found this mesh, which looks good (having not actually seen it) http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-25mm-Mesh-Panel-Galvanised-600mm-x-900mm/p/187722. Does anyone know what type of plastic would be better to use alongside the mesh? Or what a proper name for it is, as my searches aren't coming up with exactly what I want.
I have been looking at shelves, and at getting some new lino... it is rather exciting! I was going to plan everything out so I can start in spring, but I don't know if I will have the patience!
