Two more tops, and a bit more shoveling. That doesn't sound like much. Wrestling the 4' x 8', then the 36" x 39" cuts, with just two sawhorses, and two hands... And that is heavy. But, done. Shoveling is a very difficult task for me already, add on the mask and it it quite the challenge. I can only do bits at a time. But a bit more was done.
Lungs are a bit weary, body is worn, but I'm not sleepy... now. Too hot. Oh, dishes? Maybe. I won't swear to it, but I am thinking on it. I'd like a shower before going to bed. I am hungry too. I noticed a package of pork sausage, just plain, ground, in the reefer. I... don't know when I thawed that. I'd like to see if it is still good. If so, fire up the grill and make a few patties. Nothing fancy, but it's... food. Hot food. Meaty, hot, good, food.
Not a bad day. Not a great day, except that it's the second day running and I am still doing something.
Tomorrow? More wood, more work. Perhaps a few more hinges, and a few latches. No brackets needed, for the second floor in the hutches... using remnants. I have enough 2x4s. I'd like to get more, and several sheets of plywood, but not this month. I'll have to order a few loads through the winter. That stuff is handy. And I go through it like nothing, on even smaller projects.
The only things I still might look for are timothy hay feeders. Or, I might just use a few remnants, create a wooden device with some old rope, and... see how that works. Never can tell. It would be cheap, easy, probably. Oh, I do have a jigsaw... that would open holes well enough for a rabbit to get at the hay. Yea, maybe. I'm telling you, money, money, money. The hope is that it will pay. Mostly.
Later, or good night.
You haven't said (or I missed it) what are your plans for the rabbits? A food source?
ReplyDeleteYes, meat rabbits. With a slim possibility for using the pelts. That may be just too much for too little. But as to meat, they are the most efficient meat producer, pound for dollar in. And much easier to clean.
ReplyDeleteI must be honest, I have doubts about our food supply. I'd love to get into goats, or even a milk cow and meat calf, but... too big, too much, too little... all the above. Gardening as well, but that is beyond me. At least solo.
If it works, and possibilities remain in the future, I would like to get a pair of she goats... breed them for meat kids, and possibly use them for milk as well. But... I think... definitely the milk part is beyond me. Plus, either you keep an ornery billy on property, or you have to send them out for breeding. Bleh.
