Cinnamon Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 Well,we have just packed up for the night.It is absolutly freezing here & we are hoping for a nice day again tomorrow so we can finish off. The basic structure is up,& its looking good. I am even toying with the idea of staining it,although Brian says it will weather to the surroundings in quickly. Take a look.....the WWW link is the BIG button under this post,for those who look but don't see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 What a good Hubbie and Daughter, can I borrow them? Oh made a start on the run extension today. He chopped down an old apple tree Guess he will busy tomorrow. I wouldn't let him chop the apple tree branches small as I want one for putting inside the run, but I can't decide which branch. The bunny got a piece to gnaw on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 We have updated the blog twice today..... go & take a look! It is all done barr the roof & the bark chips We have also no realised that we have to dimantle the Eglu to get it in the door,where as we shouls have moved it in before the wire went on & bulit around it Your comments have been great at keeping The Hubby motivated,so thanks for that I may move the girls in tomorrow,as I don't think they will attempt to fly 6'high....any thoughts on this?

chocchick Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Whether they would fly over depends on the chicken! Su would try, the others wouldn't....... It looks great. I wish I had a lovely run with proper supports, door and roof (not just canes and wire). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
