Helpful hints for building coops

[Molpet]

My door on the coop has a window in it.
I don't know how it always got so dirty.
One bad thing, chickens don't do windows

Ha mine do doo-doo on windows

Making progress. this is where we were at lunch time.
the tractor bucket is our scaffold..
bonus image. those white pails are my compost that I am stealing a little at a time from my DD.

Looking good

Takes me forever to get anything done....40 min and my back complains

my hips and back are almost instant.
I go as long as I can stand it, and then I have a chair nearby. five minutes in the chair and I am good for another round.
thinking of transplanting the young (6") tomatoes into one gallon containers. I have 10 of them to do.

I stretch and roll my hips on the ground/floor for a few and can go again... unless I fall asleep

If I lie down on the ground, there had better be someone close by to lift me up.
My computer is in the basement. Last night I told Annie that one of these days she will have to call 911 to get me up the stairs.

My dog used to stand by me and I used his shoulders as a brace to get up... but the last few years his hips were bothering him so I made sure there is a chair or something.

hi,
kind of quiet all over the web today. People must be getting outside and enjoying the great outdoors.
I am busy mixing potting soil with my cement mixer.
I have a 20 gallon batch mostly mixed. Just waiting for one more ingredient to finish mixing.
kind of cool outside today.

We caught a few perch yesterday before it started to rain. We tossed them in the pond for storage for now . It's a big stock tank so we should be able to net them out as we need them. Mixed the chicks all together for a while yesterday and it went so well I put them all together again today after the morning tidy up. Looks good, I don't think the month olds are even using the heat plate at all anymore.
