Helpful hints for building coops

[aart]

I make lists of stuff I need/want to do. Some things I don't want to do, I want then to be done. I mark them off as I get them done. Sometimes I do things that aren't on the list.

I used to make lists 'dreaded' tasks and 'fun' tasks.
Had to do one bad one for one(or two) fun ones.

Then I write them down and cross them off.

I do this too!

I have a ridiculous, but serious, aversion to lists.

I know *why* -- because when I was a kid/teen my mother would give me tasks lists and if I got everything done on a given day the next day's list would be longer.

Unfortunately, no matter how much I know in my head that this is a wrong and destructive way of thinking, I can't break it in my emotions.

I have been known to do this, too.

Cappy, I would have to do some searching on youtube. maybe we would need to find a source for new parts.

Now you're sounding like Dr. Frankenstein!

I like the way you think, Gary!

And you might start over a couple of times, too.

I have a terrible summer head cold so my cull boys are getting a week of reprieve.

I'd been going to process them today so I could move the cull/for sale girls to Camp Cockerel so as to both make it easier to catch the right ones when they sell and to collect the eggs for the fall hatches.

I know here mold and weed pollen is high. I'm on antihistamine

i didn't get that black walnut branch cut off today. because the rain that was supposed to quit at one o'clock, didn't.

sort of Murphy's law. all the time i spent working in the garage, the sun shined . now that I decided to cut the big branch off of the black walnut tree, it rains for two days. I am going to use the electric chain saw, so working in a slight drizzle is out of the question.
