Ok good news. My sister in law's friend used to be a contractor and used to have rabbits when he was a kid, so he is very excited to come up and help me out with this the first weekend in August. Yay! I'm so glad I don't have to tackle this myself.
Anyhow, here's some pics of my daughter's playhouse. It's 6ft x 10 ft and all in the nice shade next to my garden. I'm going to make an outside hutch on the side where the little window is that will be 6x3. Then the screen on the window slides up to make a perfect doorway for him to go inside during cold weather. Inside, I will have a 40 in x 30 inch area for him. Most of it will be a nesting box, but there will be a little spot for a litter box or something. Haven't figured out the inside yet. But I still need room for my daughter to play on the other half of the house. The inside will just basically be more for winter and stormy weather. I'll have a box on the outside too for him. We're going to put a shingled roof on the outside that we can lift up as well.
Oh yeah, the main door on the playhouse is dilapidated, so I'm thinking we'll take those off and make more of a barn door type scenario. Then, I'm going to paint the whole thing barn red with white trim. I can't wait!
I'm excited to get going on this now! The "before" pictures are below:
