Granny's gone and done it again

You didnt miss a thing. Some are sweet and taste pretty good but its nothing you cant make w/o alcohol. Mostly it all burns your stomach going in and your pucker coming out.
Are you not allowed wine ?

Isn’t wine alcohol?

Need to pick the brains of the builders here....So I am to the point of building the door for the hoop coop. Space is 29 3/4" wide by 70" high. So the door should be 29 1/4" by 69 1/2" or 28 3/4" by 69". Just can't recall if it is a 1/2" you subtract or 1 inch.

Help! I am sitting here doubting myself like mad.

Do you guys mind if I ask a random kind of question?

Nope Love random kind of questions.

Bruce,
Every little bit hurts. People in the midwest killed the lakes in the Adirondacks with their toxic filth. Yeah, build those smokestacks high enough that they don't affect YOU and then "who cares"?

This is true. including the car you drive. Peeps can say I drive a hybrid or electric but electric is still converted from ?? The fertilize on your yard or the bug spray you use the cig. I smoke or the BBQs you do. We are all responsible . The garbage we produce and even the cows we raise . I mean, the list goes on forever. Solutions instead of pointing fingers IMO is the way to go. Lets look in our own back yard before we look in our neighbors.
I am not trying to bash, dont take this post wrong. I am and always will be a tree hugger. I think China had the right idea actually not allowing people to have so many children . I dont think the government should rule but education to the people should prevail. Simply put, I think there are just too many people on this world.

True but it helps to avoid doing things that are not necessary. Burning rubber and plastics doesn't rate with needing to get to work. You don't NEED to burn toxic materials.

In our case electricity is generated from hydro in Quebec or the solar panels in the yard But the electricity in hybrid cars is generated from the gasoline in the tank. Need a plug-in hybrid to get some of the power from other than gasoline. Much as I like our 4 Prii (plural of Prius) I plan for my next car purchase to be full electric.

Depends on if by "space" you mean there is already a frame for the door or you have to build the door to fit a frame you have yet to make. Generally a door frame is made with 3/4" wood so you would need to subtract 1.5" from the openings in the stud walls for the frame and another 1/2" for the side gaps. HOWEVER since this is a coop, not a house, you can just hang the door on the stud work and yes, 1/4" gap all around is fine. BUT ... if you get snow you might have a problem with the door getting snowed/iced to the ground. In that case it might be better to put something like a 1x6 or 2x6 across the bottom of the opening making a step over lip and have the door a couple of inches short. It will close up against the board and actually be a better deterrent for digging predators.

Granny I’m late as always but here is the FTT and it’s hatchmate. Don’t mind the chicken dust. September birds.

Yes the roots seem small. But the tree looks healthy.

What kind of pine is it?

Blue spruce, though it doesn't look very blue.
