yes overhead lines throw you off

All the wire for the roof of the run is lashed on! And I built a panel with a door for the front. I need to add a 2'x4' section to make it 4'x10' like the dog kennel panels. But it's coming along well!

It is a beautiful day here in Wisconsin.
I spent some time outside reafirming some measurements on the garage.
I have my material list all ready to go.
probably order tomorrow. I can do it online and then go pick it up. Less contact that way..
I have 8 rafter/brackets to build. Might need help getting attached to the garage. Will figure that out when the time comes..

I finished the run! A couple more finishing touches, and the playhouse coop will be done.

I am charging the battery on the pick up truck,
It hasn't been started since about Christmas.
I am going to get the 17 2x4's for the roof that I am going to build.
Cappy, what is your next project ? you have lots of plywood to use up,
No jacket needed today, that is really nice.,

I cooked eggs for the chickens.
Boiled up a dozen old and 'dirty' ones,
chopped 'em up shell and all.
Doesn't look like they ate them all.

I need a run for some of my polish. Then I need a coop for my silkies.

well, here I am,,,,yet.. truck didn't start..
battery gets up to 40% charge and kicks the charger off and the battery instantly drains down to 5%.. ??
I called Menard's and asked them how much they would charge to deliver the 2x4;s.
I am about 8 miles from the store. $80.oo !!
I guess I will be getting a new battery..
Aart, the answer to the chickens not eating all the eggs is,,,,,,,you need a lot more chickens..

Nah.... they did eat them all...I was seeing something else from up here.
Wonder what I'll see on the poop boards this morning.

Have to go get chicken chow and other supplies today,
hear there's a new dress code at TSC.... gloves and masks.
Guess everyone will stay the heck away from me not wearing any, eh?
I'll probably wear a bandanna, ala old west bank robber style...
...but I see no sense in gloves, will use 70% alcohol on hands before getting back into the van.
