I am direction challenged so I stay on the most simple of paths!

I know the main street and then pop down middleton rd to head over to costco ect... mapqwest is my friend

I did not even know there was a lake there(?)

My step daughters go to Middleton junior high. Sweet girls.

Well, did you get any work done on it? I had lots of plans for this weekend, but that all went out the window with 4 sick children...

I had two sick kids, but one grounded one (gounded= mom slave) so we got the runs on one side might finish the other side tonight, then the run roof, the front door, and the silkie run . . .

I am inside sick with the kids cold today, so thought I would post an update pic.
Nowhere close to done yet . . . sigh . . . but you can kind of get an idea of what's happening.
Six breeding pens each intended to hold four hens and one roo. Except Silkies, I may put six hens in each.
The pop doors open by a pully system inside.
The black PVC feeders are great! We have had them about 6 mo now and think they are the best.
Group nest boxes under and behind ladders - I may have to make them individual, the young ones are fine with it, but the older girls are demanding their privacy.
Single level roosts upstairs inside with the litter box set up - wow works great!
Will be finishing the back run today (when I feel better) and a stone mason is coming to bid on the floor and a half moon in front of where the door will be . . . pavers I think.
Will be putting sand in the runs once they kill all the grass.
Can't wait to stain the new wood to match the mahogany.
HD had a sale on the cherry 4x4's 1.00 each. They were a little hard to work with, but the savings went a long way!

Wow. This is just lovely.

Wowza! Very very nice...

One question, though, and I'm sorry if I missed it, but how do you add water to the waterers in the run?

Keep up the good work - and feel better soon!!!!
