I love hawks, eagles, all raptors. 'Your' hawks sound very intelligent indeed.
Still don't want them, or any other critter, eating my birds either.

I love them too....love to watch them bounce off the mesh run roof.

That is a nice range for them to roam around. Although before raccoons invaded our county coming from southern parts of Germany, they had much more: 26.500 m² .

It took them some time to get used to the reduced space and I had to cut down on the number of chicken as well.

Just can't imagine covering a space that size with netting.
Any pics to share?

Can't stop laughing... This comes to mind:

Only part of the 4.000 m² is covered. Would not want to live in Guantanamo.

I’m 6 days & 40pgs behind. I think I’ll just read backward for awhile.

Nah, just have a cup of coffee and set a bit.

Finish my own house.
I really need this closure on dad's house. I spent too much time yesterday vacuuming with tears in my eyes because memories of my father kept flooding my brain.

My dad has been heavy on my mind this week. Funny little things keep popping up that make me think of him. The smell of cheap paint, persimmons, quirky quotes, a call from his sister... there are too many to list & they’ve all been hitting me at once the last few days.

Hopefully you've reached a point where those thoughts lead to a smile and a happy memory.

I had to cut the door jambs and the bottom of the new door down to fit the RO for the lower level bedroom at my dad's house. Running a door short end through the table saw, by yourself, in the rain was not fun.
Needless to say the cut is less than perfect. It's the bottom of the door. Let's see if anyone even notices it.
Then I had to remove the door to deepen the recess to make the hinges flush so it would close without hitting and leave enough room for paint. I accidentally poked my finger with a fresh utility knife blade and got blood on the door. Oops.
I finished the trim on that wall and painted the long wall before calling it quits.
I made a beef stew in the Crock-Pot this morning. I used black garlic in it and I can't wait to see how it turned out!

You are truly an inspiration! This looks great too!

It's nice you stopped by.

I hope you don't start crying when you think of your dad. I only get slammed while I'm working on his house. I'm okay other times.
