Iâm going to have to go out and find more chicken tact pictures now⌠No real estimate on the timeline for finishing due to budget issues and scavenging stuff. Depending on how quickly we can get it actually watertight my goal is to be in it before next winter. I had a budget setback of about $4000 in the form of Both of our trucks breaking down. We absolutely NEED the trucks for getting feed, supplies, groceries, and DH to work, so I bit the bullet, and pulled some cash out of the build budget.That's a lovely entrance.
The whole thing looks like it's coming along nicely. Do you have an estimated date of finishing? Or don't you want to jinx yourself?
I hope I didn't jinx you...
Current goal is 100% watertight ASAP so I can get stuff out of storage. that will save us $350/month which I can then use to buy insulation, electrical bits etc. A lot of our daily operational budget disappeared when my mom was âencouragedâ to move to the other side of the island into the 55+ building. She also has a new smoking neighbour buddy, so thatâs jacked up the expenses there even further. âHow many packs do you have left? So thatâs a little More than a pack a dayâŚâ at $18/pack
thatâs more than the cost of feeding 100 chickens! The biggest challenge towards this will be getting the roof on, properly⌠not just tarping the heck out of the attic and hoping for the best. And getting enough insulation into it and a wood stove before winter. Then we can move onto fun things like interior walls⌠always a nice âadditionâ for a bathroom! Lol and if I can get a wood stove in I can cut winter heating costs like crazy!
Itâs lovely
