velacreations - You guys are probably in a very different climate than us. We did basically the same thing you did except your boxes are made out of bricks. We have a brick structure similar to one of your boxes, but it is used as an oven. We get lots of sunshine and triple digit temps. The...

Ok I know it has been a while since we were talking about this but I got some readings today in the Texas heat. It was 102 in the shade near the rabbitry and 82 in the rabbits underground boxes. So far I am pretty pleased.

Tortoise - can you tell me what went wrong with the pvc to chamber? I am still watching for problems to develop and would be glad for a heads up on anything that might go wrong.

Yes the others are right. It varies so greatly from area to area that it is impossible to answer this question. I have seen internet sites for cost of living comparisons though. They usually show you things like average income, price of a certain size home or land, and prices for different...

It is nothing more than a credit card that can only be used at certain places. They usually offer no interest for a year. This lulls people into thinking they can pay something out without paying interest. And if you are paying attention then you can. But what they bank on is that most people...

Not sure what kind of vehicle you have but I recently bought a replacement key fob that had instructions on how to program it yourself. Took about 5 minutes. While I was shopping for mine I saw fobs for all kinds of cars that were the same way. Are you sure your car can only be done by the...

@ mississippifarmboy We started to try to make the boxes out of cinder blocks but some quick math told us we didn't have enough to do that and still have any left to prop up the cages. But if you have several I bet it would work great. That cement will probably be cooler in the summer than...

ha there! I finally got a pic to load. So that is the cages with pipes leading back into coolers. It is actually filled with dirt now and has a metal roof over the cooler area. This locks the lids down, keeps rain out, and ads shade. The roof flips up if we need to open the cooler and check on...

Hi all. Well phase one is pretty much done other than a few needed tweaks. I would post pics but I can't get that to work for some reason. We created what looks like a raised flower bed out of landscape timbers to bury the coolers in. It is filled up with dirt with only the lids of the coolers...

thanks everyone who offered suggestions. Doesn't sound like anyone here has actually tried something like this so I guess we will be the test subjects - LOL. I will let yall know how it works out. Right now we are trying to gather more coolers and find a few pieces of pipe that are bigger for...

Right now it is barely angled down. Hopefully enough to keep rain from blowing into it and traveling to the cooler (though we did tap drain holes in bottom of pipe and cooler just in case). Slippery was another of our fears. We actually rigged one up temporarily and let a rabbit go back and...

My theory is this. If you can afford it just keep stacking it up as long as you have space and can keep mice out of it. It doesn't go bad and it isn't like somebody is going to invent something better and make standard toilet paper obsolete. Of course my DH likes to argue this point. He tells me...

We were hoping the smooth sides would make them difficult to bite since there isn't anything to get ahold of. And also this was another of a long list of reasons we wanted to be able to access them from the top so we can keep an eye on things. I have never tried any ferro cement either but I...

We have had our rabbits in cages and were just using ice jugs to help them through the triple digit summers. But this year we lost our favorite buck anyway. So we are working on a new project and I am hoping for input from someone who has maybe tried this or something similar. We are stacking...
