Building New Coop/Barn...Phase 5 Great Barn Build, OCCUPIED! 3/6/16

Demo is much harder on the body than building IMO.
Long crow bar really helps ease strain when pulling nails....and prying off other things too.

Sure is, ouch! I love my pry bar. I told my husband he should get me my very own, in pink. Then, I remembered that green was my favorite color and said, no, green! LOL. The pry bar gets stuff that a hammer claw can't touch.

I've got a 12" pry bar....great tool.
But the 30" crowbar really gets it done with much less power...if there's room, I use that one.

The one we have is a 15" with another much smaller one that isn't a lot of use except in super tight spots. Not much room for a 30" in most places, but it sure helps a ton.

Look what we found in tearing down the old building. He was hibernating under some trim. Husband got his leather gloves and moved him to an empty bluebird house.

You don't strike me as the "Eeeek!!!" type.

Wow! Is that a bat? He looks bigger than the tiny bats we have around our house.

They eat lots of mosquitoes, I like bats.

Quote: Hehe mostly true....and I'm not really afraid of bats, tho uncovering that would have made my heart pound, have moved a few myself.

Now snakes and spiders really give me the willies, even pictures, and can get me vocalizing if up close in person.....
.....and once I cut open a cardboard box containing an air conditioner stored in a shed, heard something in there and expected to see mice, cut open front of box and there was a whole family of red squirrels RIGHT THERE in behind the cardboard.....THAT had me, and the squirrels, skreeeching and running out of the shed.
Then I was cussina blue streak cause they had chewd the AC fan to inoperable. Funny now tho.
