So glad you have got resolution with the estate lady and it's a compromise that you're all happy with! (Why she couldn't have put this as an option at the start who knows!).
Good luck with the rest of the build and can't wait to see it finished with the happy buns enjoying their new space.

Today we began cutting the shed in half! It was partly sad (because it was so big and awesome before) and partly a relief (because we know we can now just get on with it, worry-free).
We are literally just taking a chunk out of the middle of the shed. :shock: We are allowed a 2m long section (which is the rabbit shed) and a 6m long section so we measured it out and just removed what was left. :lol:
The space in the middle will become a nice big run for the boys.
The back of the shed showing the section we are removing:
Same view but of the front, the bunny shed is closest to the camera (showing the window and door):
And I also managed to get a 1st coat of brown paint onto one of the white pvc windows in the bunny shed. Looks much better brown!

So, you're having a shorter-height run section, am I reading that right? Regardless, the groundwork's all done and at least you don't have to rip that PITA up! Looking much better, all uniform brown!

Yups that's what we're doing
I'm hoping to have it about waist-height so I can put some levels in there for them.

Almost ready for them to move in!!
We spent today putting the finishing touches to the inside of the bunny shed. It's not completely finished yet and there are a few things still to do (they don't have an attached run yet - although the cat flat is already fitted and ready for when they do) but we're keen to get them out of their hutch so they will be moving in tomorrow!

Moving in day!
Ramp, hay bin and window ledge:
Love my hay bin! I can get a massive bale of Timothy Hay in there, plus some smaller bags of Meadow Hay and my newspapers - all safely out of bunny reach!
They finally get to have their Ikea bed which I've been dying to give them for months!
The view out their window, they can see the garden, boat and river. They will also get full sun in the mornings, which I'm sure they'll love.
Their new water bottle (I'm hoping they like it) and the cat flap that will lead into their connected run (when it's made):
Cat flap from the outside and future run area:
And finally, no swanky bachelor pad is complete without everybuns favourite pin-ups! :lol:
All the excitement turned out to be too much for the boys after moving in and they promptly went to sleep! :lol:
They've since been out and about a bit more. We had a funny situation with Eric not wanting to leave the hay tray. He would run about looking over the edge but not actually get out of it. We knew they could because Ernie was jumping in and out quite happily. We eventually figured out that the black floor was giving him paranoia as he couldn't judge where it was (they have typical REW bad eyesight). Bless him, he looked like a little bun lost at sea. I eventually picked him up and put him on the floor and he was fine after that.
Still to do list:
1. Fit ceiling to the shed (will look better than just the wooden eves)
2. Make a mesh door so they they can have the main door open in summer
3. Make mesh window screens for the same reason (luckily being uPVC windows we can open them slightly and lock them, which is fine for this time of year)
3. Build connected run so they get 24/7 access outside
We're all very happy bunnies here today!
