I couldn't resist. The door to my little convection oven broke the other day and I use the thing all the time. This was Phil's answer to the problem, lol.  |

That's a great engineering design! See how wrapping it over the shelf provides tension? That's good stuff right there!  |

Yeah, well my baby bunnies are too big to stay in the cage with mom, and it is great having them in the cardboard corral in the house, but they do need to be outside, so I got busy the other day and made up a temporary grow out cage for them out of my garden waggon  I will have another cage built at the first of Feb, but needed something right now, so I pulled a bit of bead board and wired it to cover the place where the handle goes, grabbed a piece of masonite for the cover, that happened to be just the right size and it will shed water when/if it rains. Used 2 pieces of baling nylon to thread through the wire sides and over the top to hold it down. Then put brown paper grocery sacks on the bottom so they don't fall through the wire, and wired some more sacks along the back end as a wind break with some extra twisty ties from boxes of trashbags. Then, to keep varmints from chewing through the nylon baling twine and getting in, I also place a wood 3" x 18" x 4' 'threshold' that weighs a ton on top. And, if you didn't notice, my adult cages are sitting on top of plastic sawhorses, with a wrought iron door for support holding the cages. Then, on top there are bricks to level out the 2 pieces of 1/4" plywood that are the 'roof'. Directly over the cages is a piece of 6mil plastic as a 'raincoat' and over all of that are 2 tarps for windbreak and weather shelter. Personally, I would rather macguyver something than go out and buy premade just because it is fun to figure things out LOL Eventually, I will have proper cages built, but I wanted to start out with the minimum and see where to go from there ... as it is, I will not need larger cages for my adults like had been recommended in some rabbit groups I belong to, but I will want somewhat larger grow out cages as they will be butchered at 4 months, so I won't need intermediate size cages. My next macguyver project is to set up the butcher area ... I will use a 'dislocator' bar and plan to hang for bleeding over the compost pile ... that is one way to get 'blood meal' in the garden LOL I'll probably nail the dislocator on a tree next to the compost piles and I use a stump for taking the head off. |
