Helpful hints for building coops

very nice.
will you have to run 220V for that electric floor
heater ? Might I suggest a LED fixture for the
ceiling light ? like the ones I put into my garage.
only 60W but they put out a LOT of light.
they have three bulbs in them. I got mine at
Menard's for less than 3.oo each.

Yes, the fans we got have LED lights in them.

yuppers, that's the way to go with the lighting.
plus, you will gain some space in your house.
now a coffee pot, a toaster oven and a radio and
it will be weeks between your hubby seeing you.

Well, i have a small fridge and a toaster oven, plus a radio/ CD player. I don't drink coffee.
Tomorrow i will be painting, and the electrician is supposed to show up. Plus i have some concrete blocks and gravel to help us get past the mud. The blocks will eventually prohibit rabbits from living under my studio.
Very cold tonight, last time i looked, it felt like 16°! Not our usual temperatures this time of year.

I hope the electrician does show up. Your track record
for waiting for contractors is not the greatest.
will he bury the wire ?
It is super cold here already on the first of Dec.
I hope it is not a sign of things to come.
If the wind blows today, like it did yesterday,
I am not going to be putting the back blade
onto Ollie..

Yes, he did show up and said he will get back to us with a price. He said he will need to rent a ditch digger machine. So yes, the wire will be buried.
I made a ramp to the studio with dirt i dug up from the stump of a tree that fell over. Then covered it with gravel so i won't be tracking mud into the studio.

after my first wire to the garage, failed after many years, I replaced it.
I put the new wire into plastic conduit.

I have been working on painting. Not as fast as i used to be. I have about twice this much done.

Moore County North Carolina is suffering a massive power outage after multiple power substations were shot up last night.

I'm ok, but may not have power until Thursday. Not sure about regular internet access for the next few days.

I didn't want people to worry when they didn't see me.
