Mrs. AK-Bird-Brain :
I couldn't do it all by myself... not enough hands. Hubby was my wonderful assistant in all things construction. But he knows how much I love playing with power tools, so he let me do a lot of the construction, and I worked on it a lot when he wasn't there...

I love them!! I love the recycling you have done. With the economy like it is, we are having to use what we can get! Having hard time getting hubby to learn that, but he is starting to. The trampoline spring is a great idea. I see you live in a hot part of the country like me. We...

Your coops rock! Here are the 2 my hubby built, ill...
