A start.

Out, this morning.  Just going shopping with my neighbor.  Hardware stores, looking for parts he needs for this and that.  My schedule has flopped... flipped?  I have been sleeping days, up nights.  Or afternoons.  Had to wake at 08:30, actually before, this morning.  I had gotten to bed at 06:16, so... it was a tough gig.  Still, I... wanted to try, just to get going again.

We were in town to nearly noon?  Eleven perhaps?  Then made it home by... noon or one?  Something.  I showed him the cage, out there.  He had no interest in tinkering with that one.  And, yea, it is off.  Really off.  He really didn't want to mess with that one.  And he seemed as sleepy as me!  So we got to work on a new cage.  This one is 3' x 2' but one feet deep.

All sides, bottom, and a hinged lid were put together.  We used some old... what I had thought would be scrap, to do some of it.  Was so glad to see it not go to waste.  The top was from leftovers from the tops for the bigger cages.  I think only the top needed to be created whole cloth... or... bottom, actually.  All that is needed for that is to create a shelf upon which it will set.

As well, with all going, I called the rabbit lady.  Checking on cages.  She suggested she had four?  We will see.  My offer seemed good, to her.  I think two buck cages and two doe cages... which should work until I start breeding the does.  I just have this feeling that breeding does need their own little world, their own cage.  So I will have to make more.  So, it has been roughly set, that the cages, rabbits, and last of the ducks, will be gathered Wednesday.

Tomorrow, it is hoped, a few more cages will be crafted.  Two would be about ideal.  With four coming in, one made, and two more, that is seven.  Plus, if I can get the bigger cages situated, that would be very good.  I may just pull those, get more wood for the back, cut and square those, then try to install them, in or out.  Perhaps just crafting a stand, and adding tarps for in the winter.  I would hate to waste them, but I just am not sure they will ever be easy enough to construct in the outbuilding, and won't square with the building, so... a bit more in, and some cutting and shaping, then constructing outside.

I am so very tired.  I am hoping to make it to dusk, so as to put the ducks up and finish my day.  My eyes are rolling back into my skull as I try to stay awake.  Oh well.  I'll, probably, make it.  Later.  Or good night.  Oh... one more visitor and I will have 5 k for the month.
