Helpful hints for building coops

Had a friend come by and take an old sewing machine, a bunch of costuming type jewelry, about 2 pounds of old buttons, a big box of spools, and an ornamental end table. Time to start on the basement.

Ooh, buttons are so fun!

The button can that we had also had skeins of embroidery floss. Do little kids still find them interesting?

No idea. Probably too boring with video games around

So we are now the proud owners of 1/3 of an acre and 1/2 of a house!

So tell me if this is just me. I know I only a 37 weeks of working left and now everything that was kinda annoying before is driving me totally crazy! Nothing has changed, no one is any more idiotic than they were before, it's just all suddenly much harder to put up with.

Well, what has changed is now you own a 'new' house, Congrats!

Okay, major change of plans. Turns out I'm an idiot, who knew? I thought I had to keep working till I reached 66 to get my full social security benefits. Turns out I could quit working at any time and just not apply for benefits till I hit 66 and still qualify for full benefits. Also due to various financial issues it is advantageous for us to sell sooner than later. Sooooo... anyone at work who is betting me retiring before November had better double down. I think I'll wait till late spring, or early summer. Either is better for selling a house with a large garden than winter.
