I had company for a week, a very good friend who is disabled and could not assist me with my shed, so I kinda didn't get much done on it.

One of those days, I fell backwards off a 3 food step ladder I was using as if it were a real ladder, and landed on the metal roof struts I'd managed to put together. That put me out of commission for a while.

And THEN she kindly upgraded some software and added new software to my computer - being helpful - and now my computer will not load WindowsXP any more. Unfortunately, too many applications will not run in "safe" mode.

However, once I get the PC at home working again, I WILL post a whole bunch more photos I've taken. I'm nearly done building the shed. I've had a whole lot of help from the chickens and dogs, and the yard cat has been happily hunting for the mice which set up housekeeping in the stacks of pallet wood and cardboard box pieces.

A buddy from work came over and applied good ol' man strength to the walls to snap them into place. (He was there to do a couple of helpful things for my land-lady, so I snagged him for my shed.) Then he left, because he had company with him and it was not exactly his plan to spend all day helping me put my shed together. Putting the walls up took him all of 30 minutes. I screwed them together, he just snapped 'em down into place in the floor snappy-thingies.

Nice windows, one in each of two sides of the shed. The window panels will be put in much later.

It was a total .... really, really, horribly bad words of a task..... putting the doors on the shed. One would have thought it would have been easy, but one was very very wrong about that. LORDY. Ya need two peeps to do it, and there was only me! After both doors, one after the other, fell over before I could put the overhead whatchadiggie thingie up to hold them, I took a break and smoked about four cigarettes. Spent the time bending cotter pins back into usable shapes. But I finally got those two doors up, and working, like real, useful doors.

You can kinda see into my back yard where the Chicken Compound is situated, and glimpse my back porch from this shot.

Here's a view out into my land-lady's pasture area, with some of my flock milling about whilst I work on the shed.

I am MOST proud of this step of the project: The shed is 90% complete! I installed the two skylights, with butyl tape and everything - whoo hoo! - and got all the roof panels secured, now just the roof cap needs to be completed down the middle of the whole thing.

WOW! That really is NEAT! You and your chickens are going to be happy with that ... for SURE!

I am currently computer-less, due to a helpful friend's "upgrade.". Bought an iPad and don't know how to get photos up with it. Still learning things.... But I will be at work tomorrow and sneak some uploads across the 'net. Shhhhh.

The new, ginormous brooder is just wonderful! Currently occupied by the 33 chicks from the bathroom brooder bins. Just checked on them, all doing fine!
