After discussions with my partners & family, we have decided to postpone commissioning it to early next year after the festive season sales are tallied and we know exactly how much we have to spare. Sometimes I get so excited about an idea I forget that the pockets are not bottomless.
I am still new to blogging and just going through my past posts I realised I have not said much about the actual rabbits. Over the next few posts, I will try and explain what we are trying to do and post a few pictures of our rabbits. We are still taking orders for Christmas on a first come first serve basis as we had a few extras.
Until next time...

Found a supplier for the wind vane
I managed to find a company that does large commercial wind vanes for factory ventilation in Msasa, Harare. They said they would be able to make any size wind vane for me, so I am now just waiting to see how much it might cost.
As I was looking for someone to make the wind vane, I discovered a company that makes all types of fibreglass boats. Now, there is a relatively large pond on our plot and I was thinking maybe we can get 2 boats and start charging a dollar for 30min on the pond. Currently they have some second hand canoes at very reasonable prices, but they are about 3 metres long... I will have to measure the pond and try and see if they are not too long. Regardless, I think the boat idea is a good way to make extra dollars every week, so I will pursue it. I am thinking I might even have to dig & expand the pond in the long run.
Back to the rabbits, the wind vane will have some 3 rabbit figures on it and will have a very glossy finish. It will be mounted on a 9 metre free standing pole erected on the highest point on the plot. I still need to find out about avoiding lighting strikes, but that's the plan for now.
Hopefully we will be able to get the wind vane done before the Christmas shut-down.

Wind Vane
We are trying to design and install a wind vane with our logo as the outline. Very few companies seem to do such things here is Zimbabwe, but I am sure we will have one before the end of year. Once it's up we will post the photos.
