Hutches

Today, following a field trip to Manasota Beach with Tine's Conservation Biology class (where we met an invasive species iguana hunter), we began building the hutches for our rabbit pen.

Mr. Dennis provided us with some old plywood (in perfect condition) that he had out in the tool shed. There are around a dozen sheets, which we plan on utilizing for the chicken coops and nesting boxes, in addition to the rabbit hutches.

Taylor had an absolute blast playing around with the power tools. We had a rough idea as to what we were doing, but a lot of it was experimenting to figure out the basics.

All of the cut pieces came out very well. We still haven't actually assembled everything (we need some different size pieces of wood to brace the corners), but it should all be finished tomorrow.
