I am married to the cackle cackle lady.

Yeah, I heard that; Mike told me.

Chickens have been staying away from the tent.
I’m hoping these idiot children on quads are quiet soon. I gotta go potty, but I can’t until I’m sure she’s asleep!

I’ve found the start of my new chicken coop. It will be closer to the house for easier access. This set of roof trusses is 12’ wide 8’ tall. With a little modification there will be two sides for chickens with acces to garden and a central access for food and eggs. Picking them up on Monday.

I am excited for sure. Pretty much everything to build the coop is sitting on the walk way there. And best part it’s all free. Including two 8’ foot doors. Neighbor is following me to work Monday to pick up with his trailer. Now the fun begins

How sweet it is! Good show. Now just hope it doesn't get like an inferno outside while you're building it.

Pretty sure it will. Weather has cooled back to low 80’s for now but that won’t last.
Been wanting to build this for some time. Probably remove the coop and fenced garden from back area.
Downsizing the amount of chickens should pay for roofing.

Thanks. How’s the lake doing? Did you get the dock in?

Docks in, fishing boat is in. Pontoon boat should be in but isn't. Hopefully early next week. My car decided it needed some work, so no lake until it's fixed.

We made it. Her better than me. I put her in feety pajamas, a sleeping bag and a warm blanket. I was in boxers and a T-shirt with one blanket. And who made the ground so hard?! Oh my goodness! I love sleeping on the ground! Okay I loved sleeping on the ground. My yoga mat will be getting used again apparently.

The same person who made the ground hard here is probably responsible for your ground getting hard as well. Skip yoga mat go with air mattress.
