From a thirteen person operation down to a one-person operation...economy isn't good for me and the wife right now, but Jesus is still Lord so all will be well. :) Memorial Day....I remember well!!!! I ran a chainsaw and burned brushpiles.....HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Several days were a...

Thanks for asking. No, I haven't finalized nor started on it yet. Lots of other things going on in life right now. Hopefully this fall (cooler weather?) I can get it started if things cooperate. My goal has been to be ready in January/February to get chicks. I'm not sure how that timeframe...
