Guest Post for the Sustainable Couple

Last week I was featured as a guest blogger for The Sustainable couple, a couple that also lives in Iowa and has a much more impressive blog and following. They are interested specifically in our rabbiting endeavors as it is a unique topic to their readership, so here is the post I shared with them. You can read it by following this link. Hopefully if enough people show interest in the subject (wink wink, nudge nudge) they'll continue wanting to hear from us and we can share our passion for stewarding Creation with more than just our personal friends and family :)

I Finally Got It Right! (Austin)

Remember how the rabbit tractor was long, cumbersome, and incomplete? Well I decided to follow a hunch and am very glad with how it turned out. Here is a video update for you on the rabbits, the kits, and the new facility that I've been building the last two days. Between the fact that I actually measured and marked my cuts, drilled lead holes before placing my screws, and used uniform lumber I think the difference shows and I am extremely proud of how it turned out. It is lighter, it looks better (not a necessity, but it is a nice change of pace), and I like the box setup more than what I built for Fabio and Appa. I put the box on the side of the tractor but kept it raised off the ground to avoid too much condensation and frost. Without double-tapping a dead horse, here is the video so you can see it for yourself. As I said, I am very please and proud of how it turned out :)
