Floor is in

Well our barn is almost complete. When we priced the patio stones we changed our plan to concrete. Unfortunately it was in the high 80's with high humidity this past weekend when we decided to put it in. But at least it is finished. Tonight we were able to move the 2 stacks inside that were under the overhang. With cooler weather coming in this week we are glad to be moving them all inside. It is so exciting to have more space. We are hoping to get more cages in the next couple weeks. With all the litters we have coming we need some extra cages. We are looking forward to a trip to convention this weekend to pick up a new doe from Dennis and Barb Kline from Ohio. She will take the place of our brood doe that we lost earlier this year.

new bunny barn is coming along






Well just wanted to give an update on the Bellairs bunny barn. Our newly added 12X24 shed is almost finished. The walls are up, and the outside has been stained. We need to do some fill in the new half and then we will be laying patio stones for the floor. After much deliberation this seemed to be the best answer. We have a gable fan in the door and have a new window waiting to be installed. I am posting pictures that include a side view of the original shed and a front view of the new addition and the new window. Just for fun I have also posted a picture of the sand pile.




OH Yeah the sand! I called to order the sand delivered and well...... I don't know that much about the capacity of a dump truck. When I ordered a half load he questioned it and said that he has a 5 yard truck and a 10 yard truck. Well since 5 is half of 10 I went with that one. When I called my husband to happily report that the sand was on the way he was somewhat dismayed by the amount. Well you know there are always places in the yard that need fill :)








This is our original shed.












This our new addition with a new window that we will install next to the door.
















Who knew that 5 yards of sand would be more than we need :)
