Helpful hints for building coops

[CapricornFarm]

Went shopping and got feed etc. today. Tonight I worked on the playhouse coop. All the hardware cloth except what will be on the door is on. I need to make the door and take care of a few details, then I can concentrate on the run.

I set a goal for today. To get the tube into the tire, and feed the tomatoes.
It is 10:3o and I am half way finished feeding the tomatoes. I mixed up 5 gallons of fish emulsion.
I have the tire inflated and waiting to put it on until I am sure it is holding pressure..

Good for you!
I have done a dozen prodigious projects in my mind,
but actually haven't moved far from the couch/kitchen/bathroom triangle path.

Thank you for reminding me. I meant to do that today and forgot.

Well I got the door made and painted, just needs wire on the window. I cut the perch and peeled off the bark. Also cut and painted a board to hang feeder and waterer from. The tunnel is almost ready to install! Plus I assembled one side of the frame for the run. And cut the wood for the door and painted it. And i started building a feeder for the goats from a pallet.
Lovely weather all day. Not over 90°, and partly cloudy at times. But we are supposed to get rain for the next four days.

good morning,
Cappy, rain?hope you have a good book to read
I just sent myself a to do list. there are
fourteen (14) items on it. I am going to try to not add any more..
just moderate rain expected for the next week.
lots of dry days..
whoops, I just thought of another project.
Yesterday I mixed up 5 gallons of fish emulsion and fed the tomatoes. then, two different people decided to water the tomatoes.. I hope they didn't leach the nutrients out too badly.. I wasn't aware that they were out there watering..

Today I got up early because I needed medications for 2 of the goats. I think Misty has bloat and Windy has goat polio. We weighed them, Misty the hog weighed 20 pounds and Windy only 9 pounds!
