Problem: Article: Aside from lumber, there are a significant number of tools and materials you will need to build your log house. You will need specialized tools for handling wood, such as a chainsaw, chisel, planer, beam saw, drill and tenon cutter. You will need concrete, stones and mortar for the foundations, along with insulation materials and, of course, windows, doors and roof materials. A log cabin can be made from virtually any group of tall trees. However, a log cabin that lasts must be made from a narrow selection of wood types that have the characteristics needed to craft a sound, visually appealing structure that will retain its strength, value and appearance for decades and beyond. Common examples of trees types used in building log cabins include cypress, Douglas fir, white pine and yellow pine.  If you are gathering the lumber yourself, choose trees that are of the length and diameter that will suit your needs. Think in terms of cutting a matched set of logs with the same mid-point diameter. House logs are best cut in winter, when the sap is down and the logs can be skidded over the snow with minimum damage to the logs and the environment. Choose your logs selectively, not cutting too many trees in the same space, the trees left behind will benefit from having more light and space to grow in. Alternatively, you can purchase lumber from a log home producer. It is possible to buy lumber precut, which minimizes and often eliminates the work you will have to do to prepare the logs. Logs will need to be debarked and treated with a preservative treatment to prevent deterioration by insects, molds, mildew and fungus attacks. Consider whether you want to build your home with green logs (logs with a high moisture content) or dried logs.  If you choose to use dried logs you will need to stack your freshly cut lumber to season. If you are happy to use green logs you will need to account for the lumber "settling" over the first few years.
Summary: Determine what you need. Source the lumber. Prep the logs.

Problem: Article: Look for bedding that’s designed specifically for rabbit habitats, or mentions that its safe for rabbits. One of the best all-around materials available is hay, which is edible and will keep your rabbits warm during colder nights. Pregnant females and babies should be given Alfalfa hay, while fully-grown rabbits can have Timothy hay.  Another option is to use a dust-free bedding made from recycled wood or paper. Avoid using pine or cedar chips or shavings, as these can be toxic to rabbits. Put down 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of bedding at a minimum, making sure it’s evenly distributed from corner to corner. If you’re using hay, mound it around the edges of the cage so that your rabbit can graze while still having an open area near the center for playing and sleeping.  For ease of cleanup and extra protection against leaks, consider adding a couple absorbent puppy pads or a layer of newspaper beneath the bedding material. Provide a deep layer of bedding so your rabbit doesn’t get sore hocks. This painful condition is extremely common and occurs when rabbits sit on hard, damp surfaces. Deep bedding cushions your pet, lifting them off of soiled spots. While rabbits typically have no problem sleeping on any soft, cushioned surface, a separate bed can make a useful and adorable addition to a well-outfitted cage. Place the bed near one corner or wall so your fluffy friend will have plenty of room to eat, play, and stretch its legs. Bunny beds are available as woven mats, tiny hammocks, and small plush beds similar to the ones dogs like to curl up in. Training your rabbit to use a litter box can help you keep its cage cleaner and more sanitary. Shop around for a small litter box in a size suitable for the species you’re keeping and cover the bottom with layer of recyclable paper-based litter. You can also use a mixture of shredded newspaper and hay if you have any extra lying around. Stay away from clumping cat litters. These can be dangerous to rabbits if ingested.
Summary:
Pick up some rabbit-safe bedding. Spread your bedding material along the bottom of the cage. Set aside a place for a bed. Add a litter box.
