@karenerwin it's weird how hens can pick and choose if they want to raise an orphan. Not had any experience with that but following you and @SueT it sure is interesting.

WOW!!!! look at all those windows! I can't wait to see updates!

Ya. . look at all the BROKEN windows.
We will either frame in and replace all the front windows with smaller ones,or maybe do large windows on every other one and tin over the ones in between.
In the cafeteria room where we will live we plan to frame it in and put big windows back in their place. (as large as we can afford)

Yep can't wait to see what you do with all that space and cabinets... you need to call the janitor to clean the bathrooms lol.

JT

Cabinets are coming off the wall in the cafeteria, maybe move them out to the shop if we can clean them up.They are nasty nasty. That one big cabinet we moved out to the shop hubby wants to keep. . we might put those back up above it. That area will be the wood shop area.
We will either build our own cabinets. . or buy some when we decide where everything has to go kitchen appliance wise.

Turns out it was a video of the kids and mom leaving the nest. When I checked it last night it was empty.

Opps I forgot their 2nd birthday was last Friday, do you think they are upset? I think I'll give them the rest of the crickets tonight...

Our road has been really badly rutted, muddy, and full of big potholes for a long time, and it has worsened with each rainy period. You have to drive in 1st gear for about 1/2 mile, because you cannot avoid all the deep ruts and holes. Today they poured gravel all over the road without first grading it and smoothing it out. They even poured gravel over a dead armadillo! Most of the gravel rolled off of it. DH plans to go remove it and bury it but I may be able get some vulture photos before that happens --if they notice it and show up soon.

I see several different ones here. I've even seen a pinkish/purple one!
This one was kind of creeping me out staring at me.
