Corner where I usually placed a bale of straw.
But...the bottom 2 or 3 inches would get wasted.
Took some of the dunnage lumber and made a rack.
It holds a full bale of straw up off the ground.
I've still got the tie-wire on it.
Look how much it expands in the next picture
with the wire off. LOL.
Those front slats are removable. Small nails
are slipped into drilled holes just under the bottom edge.
Everything's back in place. Moved the small shelf
over for my folded feed sacks.
Hairy cages needed to be cleaned. I usually
do this about once a month. Used a small propane
torch, brush, and putty knife.
The end result is nice, clean cages.
The rabbits pay no mind to me when I'm doing this.
The next two pics are fryers lined up
for their hay. Made about 30 hayracks
the other day. I bought 10 bales of
third-cutting Alfalfa out of the field,
for six-dollars a bale.
Got them stored in the loft above the
grow-out room.
I've got a few nearly ready to be shipped.
With my upcoming expansion, all of these cages
will be removed and turned 90 degrees. I'll lose
4 cages when I do this, but they'll go into the
new area. I made a boo-boo when I built this room
and discovered the aisle is too narrow. I'll gain
an extra foot of aisle-space when they're turned.
I'll have to cut new doors and new openings for
the feeders. Placed end to end, I'll only have
to patch the last cage to close up the old holes.
Thanks for lookin'.
