Bunny shed and new enclosure project

How far we've come since last update...

Dansk

Det seneste stykke tid har vi arbejde meget på vores projekt, hvor der vil blive lavet et skur til kaninerne, men en udvidelse af haven var krævet, så det har vi lavet. Dertil vil en ekstra udvidelse af en løbegård udgøre koblingen mellem skuret og den gamle løbegård, som er kaninernes nuværende hjem. Til at starte med var dette et lille hurtigt projekt, men det har nu udviklet sig til at være meget større og meget mere kompliceret end først antaget. Det kræver masser af tid, penge og planlægning, men vi skal nok nå i mål med det. Motivation er noget jeg har rigeligt af. Sidste gang jeg opdaterede om vores projekt var i August, og meget er sket siden, selvom man måske ikke lige kan se det ved første øjekast. Der popper altid mange små projekter op, når man skal bruge noget for at komme videre. 

Have projektet

Vi har fået fjernet de største træer/rødder og planter, der nu måtte være os i vejen, og vi har desuden også gravet al jorden væk, så vi kunne få et plan, der var nogenlunde jævnt. Det var hårdt, men det hele værd. Desuden har vi banket stolper i, sat hegn op, sat støtte pinde på, lagt jord rundt så kaninerne ikke kan løbe ud og vi har bygget en havelåge samt givet den olie (det hele kan ses på billederne nedenunder). Vi har nu udvidet vores have, hvilket gør det væsentlig nemmere at arbejde videre med. Dog er det ekstremt mudret lige i øjeblikket, da vi befinder os så meget derude og så har der faldet meget nedbør. 

Skur

Vi har målt op og sat snore op for at gøre det lettere at visualisere, og så vi kan sikre os at stolperne kommer til at stå parallelt med hinanden. Desuden har vi gravet 14 huller i 80 centimeters dybde. Ja, 14 styk af dem. Det tog tid og kræfter, og det er bare hullerne til skuret. Så mangler vi stadig de 11 andre, der skal graves i 60 centimeters dybde (heldigvis). Det kræver så mange stolper i skuret, for at vi kan være sikre på at det kan holde gulvet, de tre vinduer og de to døre, som vi har planer om, at der skal være i skuret. Jeg ville ønske at jeg kunne vise jer, hvilke tanker jeg har gjort mig omkring designet på skuret, men jeg har ikke noget konkret til jer. 

Ny løbegård

Det med snoren gælder også for stolperne i den nye løbegård, men dette behøver dog ikke være så præcist som med skuret. 

Et skud ud til min far og min søster for at deltage i dette enorme projekt, og for at hjælpe mig med at gennemfører det. Jeg er meget taknemlig.

Lately we have been working a lot on our project, where a shed will be made for the rabbits, but an extension of the garden was required, so we have done that. In addition, an additional extension of a running yard will form the link between the shed and the old running yard, which is the rabbits' current home. To begin with, this was a small quick project, but it has now evolved to be much larger and much more complicated than first assumed. It requires a lot of time, money and planning, but we should probably reach our goal. Motivation is something I have plenty of. The last time I updated on our project was in August, and a lot has happened since, although you may not be able to see it at first glance. Many small projects always pop up when you need something to move forward.

Garden project

We have removed the largest trees/roots and plants that may now be in our way, and we have also dug all the soil away so we could get a plan that was fairly even. It was hard, but worth it all. In addition, we have knocked posts in, put up fences, put support sticks on, laid soil around so that the rabbits can not run out and we have built a garden gate and given it oil (it can all be seen in the pictures below). We have now expanded our garden, which makes it significantly easier to continue working with. However, it is extremely muddy right now as we are so much out there and then there has been a lot of rain.

Shed

We have measured up and set up strings to make it easier to visualize, and so we can make sure that the posts will be parallel to each other. In addition, we have dug 14 holes at a depth of 80 centimeters. Yes, 14 of them. It took time and effort, and those are just the holes for the shed. Then we are still missing the 11 others that need to be dug to a depth of 60 centimeters (thankfully). It requires so many posts in the shed for us to be sure it can hold the floor, the three windows and the two doors that we plan to have in the shed. I wish I could show you what thoughts I have made about the design of the shed, but I have nothing concrete for you. 

New enclosure

The string also applies to the posts in the new running yard, but this does not have to be as precise as with the shed. 

A shout out to my dad and my sister for participating in this huge project, and for helping me complete it. I am very grateful.

This is where the new enclosure is supposed to be - connecting with the current one

We've dug out so that the ground is flat

A VERY muddy working place (we did mill the soil a little though - to remove unwanted plants and flatten out the ground)

The new wood gate

Strings to mark where the shed is supposed to be

Digging 14 holes isn't easy - just saying

Arrgh water... (helped get the mud up though)

80 cm! Deep holes..
