Doubled the size of my brooder box, one side is a fair bit cooler.
Hopeing it's big enough for the six pack for a bit?
Thanks

Maybe another week, tops.....they'll do much better with more space tho.

Right on, good for a little bit then
Thanks for the comment on the shed, it's a work in progress but will be nice when it's completed..

I managed to get the rest of the 2x6 up in the roof and strapped it with some rough milled random boards.
I hope to get the strapping straightened out/ ends cut off tomorrow and screw the steel roof on before rain on the weekend.

I had better keep on it whenever I find a few minutes here and there tho...

Got the roof finished up yesterday

The ridge cap needs to be fixed up a bit.
But it's raining hard today! And their are no leaks

I would have liked the roof to have hung over the gable ends a bit more... But it will be okay.

Ripped a few cedar boards with the skill saw and built a frame within the window jam.
Then used silicone to stick the glass in from the inside, and a couple more cedar strips to hold the glass in place well.
Still need to figure out how I'm going to do the trim on the outside... Shouldn't be a big deal tho, turning out well so far.
