Nope, even with my trailer mostly in shade and air flow with fans it was still 95 in the coolest parts, and birds were just shy of hyperventilating in there. Me too, really. So...... budget is crap but hopefully i can just live cheap for a bit and catch back up; the other option is to cash in my energy rebate thing from my tax return; i was saving it for this winter's heat bill though. Hm. Anyway, i'm only doing the back half of the trailer unless i've got company and keeping it around 80 ; which actually feels kinda cold with the obsene heat. It's a 12,000 BTU indoor floor unit.
I slept like a baby that first night, totally worth it and i'm looking at it as an investment, keeping it positive. Another deciding factor was seeing a huge house fire on the way home from work. Probably a barn fire, but i got to thinking about those fans being on 24 / 7 and i've had them go bad before and come home to a house full of smoke..... scary stuff. And then later after we installed it i saw ambulances at a trailer not far from mine..... probably heat stroke. So i decided fans were not my friend in this situation.
So if you get too hot and don't mind hanging out in a hovel, and the kids wanna go swimming this weekend, ........ ? It really is horrible, everything is stripped down with pitted subfloor and no trim, lots of unfinished projects. But i keep doing what i can
In bird news henry has been spared thus far, i really don't wanna do the deed but he's getting steadily worse. Yesterday he attacked my hand hard core when i reached down to put food in their feeder and it was hard enough to make my hand numb and stiff for minutes
He's just plain scared of people at this point. Idk why but it is what it is; could be because i'm not spending as much time but at any rate i can't be attacked like that. Babies are getting bigger by the day with obsenely huge feet feathers, so cute! So far so good no red combs. I have a week to the 3 week checkup; that breed usually starts reddening up at 3-4 weeks of age. These look like they will be show quality, if the feet are any indication.
Hope is hanging out in the trailer with broody momma and me. I tried bringing home my silver and blue roo but he grew some spunk . In his defense hope pulled his hair first, but it was funny to watch in a way because he's so timid usually.
I think if the other roo is gone he'll shape up to be a very nice boy. Ive not seen that color very many times, i need to get a pic but i have been holding off bc the girls have terrorized his tail right off. ???
