    How many chickens do we all have? 60,083 and counting.

    70,010 + 28 new chicks = 70,038

    Anyone ever build on a somewhat steep slope?

    I would suggest the easiest solution would be to install 4 corner supports (8"x 8" concrete pyramid block) that have been dug into the ground enough to be sitting flat on a surface area that is 50% larger than the block measures (this leaves room to achieve square). Attach 4"x 4" post to blocks...

    What Homesteading book do you recommend?

This book is incredibly informative with easily applicable instructions on just about anything you could imagine needing whilst living...
