[Good Enough]

I've been all over BYC and can't contain my excitement anymore. I have been a professional organic gardener for the last 20 years. I was thinking of adopting a new dog and then the lightbulb went off and I thought I should get a pet that earns its keep. So far we are in coop building phase- I'm trying to get most materials free. This little venture is costly. Reminds me of Dolly Parton when she said "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap".

Do not figure the price of your first dozen eggs.

Welcome to BYC, and good luck with building your coop and establishing your flock.

My father in law was a mason and after every job he would stand back, stare at his work, and say "Good enough!" Thanks for providing a family flashback.

Good luck with your coop build. I enjoyed that Dolly Parton quote!

If you haven't already, check out the Learning Center and the coop build forum for a lot of good information.
