I hate glass doors. They are so hard to keep clean
I'm not too concerned with cleaning...most anything. :gig
Function over form.
I hate a shower curtain getting sucked in and clinging to skin while showering.

but you have to be cognizant of the curtain when showering in there for sure.
I would think so, especially with what I think is a shallow shower pan?
 
@DobieLover, I LOVE YOUR SHOWER!!!!!!

When our bathroom "grows up," it wants to look like yours.

We will get around to redoing the bathroom... someday. Probably not this summer. DH wants to get it done when we could shower outside. But we have and will have some large expenses in the next few months, and I don't want to tack on another right now. We have other house projects we can do that will be $200ish, not $2000ish.
 
YIKES!
Thursday is gonna stink!

Yeah....

Today would have been GREAT for getting the rest of the metal and the porch roof decking off the old house. Cool, overcast, nice breeze. But DH had to work; emergency CF fix in preparation for delivering 4 custom fabrications to Indiana. Oh well.

We do have time to get that stuff done. We got a burn date for the old house! October 21, with a backup date of the 28th if needed. And, they're on Saturdays, so friends of ours can come out to watch.
 
Good Evening, Cafe’!
First back to school in-service for me today. Teachers went back yesterday. (I’m a para, so only a couple of days this week for me.) I have another training day on Thursday, first student day is Monday.

It was 99 when I left the building at 3:30. So humid this morning that all the windows in the house were fogged over.

I’m in the process of trying to decide which rooster or cockerel to keep. I have 4 males for sure, possibly 5. One is my big red “ranger” that escaped the butcher block last year (or maybe the year before?) because he wasn’t as big as the rest. He’s good sized now, and a known factor. He’s definitely the flock leader. When he mates with the hens, there is no kerfluffle, no fuss. You don’t even know it’s happening unless you see them part ways and the hen does her little shake. So he’s got all that going for him, but he’s not particularly handsome or fancy.

There are two black and white speckled ones. One is from last fall, one this spring. They’re OK, I guess. The older one is a sneak-attacker when it comes to mating. I believe he is subordinate to Red and the cockerel that hatched when he did, and doesn’t really have a flock of his own.

The other known one also hatched last fall, and looks like the Gray Andalusian, but with rusty wing patches. He and Red each have their harem, but not all of those girls are going to make it to winter (I hope). My goal is to reduce my numbers to maybe 15 or less this fall.

I think I saw one more cockerel for sure on the roost the other night. I know, I know, I’m a terrible chicken keeper because I lost track of how many I have. Chicken math. The struggle is real.

I’ll post pics of the boys later.
 
Seven. There are seven of them!

And “I thought there was another one!”

There is no way I’m going to have fewer than 15 birds. Red’s harem is all 1-year old layers that I will keep over, and there are 3 pullets from the July hatch, and a couple from the June hatch I’ll be keeping, and my known, multiple batch a year broody. That means probably keeping two coops going again this winter, so two flocks = two roosters! I’m thinking Red, and the last one pictured because I like the looks of him. He’s good sized , too.

Don't ask me to pick. I'd want them all!
