I checked on my lumber today, my lumber is ready!!!!
( they could have called me last Oct. when they finished it )
Some oak had fallen down on my property last year, and also some maple. So I took my chainsaw up on my 1954 International Super C and cut it up, dragged it down. I laid some 16 gauge steel on top in the spring it just let it bake it the sun all summer. I loaded it up and took it to the sawmill where they charge me $35.00 an hour to rough cut it up. Because I supplied the wood, I didn't have to pay by the board feet.
I could have used it in my wood burner, but knew the DW was after me to get the coop in the works.
So for $70.00 I have enough wood to build 5 coops!!!!
I also am going to put a sign on my coop that says " warning coon eating chickens ".
Deposit egg here is great to put above the nesting boxes!!
Hey, I am not just a peddler, I'll barter with you too. You come help me build my coop "help me" is defined as- I will tell you the next step after you finish the one your on
Labor for wood!!!
Now if I could find one more BYC member to join us in the build, I'd have it made.
Hey it's a hard job being an Engineer, everyone knows that every project needs one. Just ask my wife, she's always the Engineer on every project I do on the homestead.

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie
I'm planning on (one day) putting a sign on our coop that reads... "De Ville".
But first gotta finish the lattice on the deck, build the raised garden enclosed by fence, decorative outhouse to use for storing gardening tools, wishing well cover for the well pump out front, wiring the shop, making office inside shop... etc, etc. You get the idea.
