so looks like I have a shelter for my rabbits, if I can arrange pickup, its one of those 10x20 shelter logic car canopies with the roof...hes got 2 so im grabbing both, I can put them a couple feet apart so they dont collect snow between the roof pitches...(or dads might steal the 2nd as a house for his truck...lol.)
next year I can focus on putting a stronger roof on them using the roof sheets too...but this year itll work as is with some tarps on the sides and ends to keep the wind out.

if I use both I have more than enough room for my adult buns to have 1 and the 2nd one to house y quail cages some hay bales/feed and some deacent sized growout pens for babies...
but we'll see, theres more than enough room in just the 1 to house all the adult buns and a couple bins of feed and even a couple square bales...couple big growout pens though would be VERY nice :D

otherwise alls trudging along. the hope for this weekend is to get the microwave up in the kitchen and dow the downstairs bathroom...
this means a trip to the home improvement store as we need 3/4 inch ply to make a support for the microwave (our cabinate it shuld be mounted under doesn't have a bottom to mount it to...) and to pick up something to make a new vanity top from. the vanity top will be covered in the same slate tile as the backsplash in the kitchen and were using my tigers eye glass tile as an accent around the mirror.
need to check my vessel sin to make sure everythings still there and its in 1 piece since whats whats going in that bathroom...and dads going to order the faucet tonight too.
ive also got to work on laying the stall mat in the duck pen this weekend, hoping thatll be easier to hose down/keep clean than dirt floor lol.

and yeah that about all I got.
fingers crossed on these car canopies!

They're great-for about 2 years, then the cover starts to rip. But, you can buy replacement covers. I've used them for hay storage B4, and they work well.

im actually hoping once the covers start to give I can replace them with roof panels...
I figure if I buy a couple each month by the time the covers start to give I can just put a solid roof on them :)
got the 2 of them today, gonna try and get them put up next week (weve got storms forcast the next few days and im going to have to rearrange the cages and such so I need a few nice days)

we now have the under cabinate microwave hung :)
which means we'll be able to claim back a ltitle counter space once the old microwave gets relocated
looks very nice.

the 4 angora does have a few more days before they go to the freezer if no one buys, ive reduced them as far as they are going at $20 a piece or $30 for 2, there worth that as meat and hides, so that goes onto the list for a cooler day next week...
along with building the car canopies and working on the buck pen...
oh and laying the stall mat in the duck/goose pen.
and I need to do goat feet and clean out the stalls and rebed those lol.
and that's just the outside stuff for this week...

dads taking the tank off the toilet right now so ill spend this afternoon finishing removing the paper and paste in the bathroom, washing the walls and spackling...
we haven't orderd the faucet yet but have the other stuff or the vanity top...but I figure even if we just get the walls painted tomorrow...order the faucet today, dads got prime itll be here by Tuesday/Wednesday and the vanity can be next weekends project. oh and the new light in there too :)

busy busy bumblebee...

well im melting...BUT...I can cross the stall mat in the duck pen off the list, 25 ft of the heavy duty rubber stall mat cut into 2 10ft pieces and the last 5 ft cut in half long ways = a 10x10 duck/goose pen that can now actually be powerhosed down when it gets yucky, means no more trapsing through mud and ducky slime to feed and hopefully mean no more stinky...with the dirt floor they just contantly turned it into a stinky mud puddle...
next job in there involves making a large shelter for them to replace the dog houses before winter...but I think we do have a little bit of time before that becomes a necessity.

and yeah.
Microwave is in...
Cistern is off the toilet
dads doing brothers ceiling fan now...
im just cooling off then im going to go finnish stripping paper and washing the walls in the bathroom...hoping I can get it spackled this evening too, and ive got to make dinner as-well...
