Helpful hints for building coops

[jvls1942]

looks like you will have some very colorful roosters.. not so much with the one in the egg..
I have the carb all set to go back into the moped.. but at the last minute I decided to go ahead and drill out the screws holding the float bowl on.
If the carb wouldn't work as is, I would have to take everything all apart again and THEN drill out those screws..
so might as well get it over with now.

Kind of dark in my room even with the lights on. I will get better pics tomorrow.

That foam carton makes me nervous....regarding heat and circulation and the temp probe stuck down in it....but sure looks like it working!
Have you 'made friends' with the Incuview?

Yes, i got over my dislike. I only put the egg carton in for hatching. Now i guess i will be turning the others by hand until the second batch is ready for lockdown unless i put the turner back in. All 8 of my initial eggs set hatched!

That's a wild pumpkin!!
Is that DIY carved or purchased?

Did it myself, took about 5 hours. Entered it in the pumpkin carving contest.

Sweet!!
I used to carve a bunch...didn't do many partial cuts.
This it the only one I could find a pic of:

I am not any good at carving a pumpkin,
I helped the kids do it when they were little.
haven't done one in about 40 years.
I can't stand the smell of pumpkin. I don't eat anything with pumpkin in it..
but I can appreciate the talent you all have.

well, I did manage to drill out the 3 screws in the carburetor . it took a lot longer than you tube tutorials showed.
I am glad I did it though.. my hunch was right. the jets were plugged . I gave the carb a good thorough cleaning. tomorrow I have to go to Fleet & Farm and get 3 new metric screws..

Hubby changed the oil in the Mule today, he was looking on You Tube as well. What a job that was!
Did i ever show you my ceramic tower i built?

Built totally by hand with clay. Weighs a ton, i swear! Has a place up top for a light.

I love this! Would also be a great design for a quilt.
