EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

Quote: Man, it sure is nice having the roof finished. Now I can work out there without having to check for wet spots whenever I walk in. I nailed a big tarp across the opening where the big door's going, to keep out the wind, rain & snow 'til I can get the double doors made & up.This morning I cut a piece for the bottom 3' of the people door & got the 1st coat of paint on it. I wasn't planning a dutch door, I had a piece of 1/2 that will work, so dutch door it is. Actually, it'll work out nice; I can leave the top half open in hot weather for some cooling. I'll be adding 2x4 cross-bucks to all the doors for rigidity. I'm anxious to get it up & functional so the chickens will stop thinking it's their personal latrine.

Do you realize you can't buy regular 1/2" plywood anymore? The closest you can get is 15/32", and they want 2 arms, a leg, & your first born child for it. I said "screw that" & bought 3 sheets of OSB & a 1/2 gal. of flat white exterior paint. That should do the job 'til I move to the other side of the grass.
 
Glad it's working well for you.

So far, I am happy with it. I love the long cord (good thing I know how to keep it looped in my hand) for getting from room to room. It has awesome suction ( :duc ) leaving the carpet looking better than it has in a while! I love how easy it is to :gig I am so sorry! I sound like an infomercial!
Did you know that it is great if you keep an alpaca in the house?
 
I still have the offer for the free runner ducks (4 ducklings) from a friend....

Funny story re. flash cards:
When Dad had his stroke, he lost the ability to speak; along with some mental capacity (cognitive ability ?) He started sessions with a Therapist, who one day was using flash cards. She'd hold up a card, & he was supposed to tell her what was pictured on the card. At one point, she held up a picture of a car

Dad: 57

Therapist: No, try again

Dad, impatiently: 57

Therapist, after checking to make sure of the picture: No, Mr. Whiteside, it's a car

Dad: It's a '57 Chevrolet, dammit!


He was right; the car had been made before the Therapist was even born.
