Helpful hints for building coops

Boots, nice looking tractor. Like I said before. move it sideways one end at a time. won't feel so heavy.
sitting here with a cuppa, worrying.. one source says 41F,
the other says 36F..
it should be getting light out in a little while. then I will go out and check the plants.
I have 21 tomatoes .. oh wait !! yesterday DD showed up with 10 Romas that need to go into their forever pots.
Oh well, when it comes to canning time, I won't have to mix tomatoes.. I can make Roma juice, and Big Boy juice. etc, etc, etc,
Last night I came up with an alternate style for the green house panels. I wish I wouldn't do that..

Ya ever know, lots of little micro-climates that the weather stations can't record.
Are they covered at all?

Craigslist here is not so great compared to what i was used to in FL. I used to be on there all the time. Now maybe once a day. Poor volume. I can't seem to sell my Siamese kittens either. If i do find anything good it is an hour or more away. And gas is going nowhere but up.

It's a shame this forum is so old. I'd take your kittens in a heart beat

I do that all the time Jim, half make something then think of a better way to do it. We're going to make another tractor that's a little bigger than this last one, the bunnies are loving it so much we want to let the breeders in on the fun.

must be contagious. almost everybody is building something. Aart has everything built that will ever be needed.
I went out before the sun came up and checked the plants. they were covered with cold dew. It seemed iffy to me, so I sprayed all the plants except the new Roma's. later on, all of the plants are OK.
there are tiny tomatoes on the cherry tomato plant. about as big as the tip of my little finger..
.I didn't eat breakfast. Annie is roasting a beef roast. sure smells good.

Kinda miss designing and building stuff.. ..but I don't need anything.<shrugs>
I did replace the ramp cleats in the partition run the other day,
That was kind of thrilling especially because I already had the perfect sized stock in my stash from another disassembled build(my first brooder build).

broken cleats ? you must have some mean a.. chickens.
I unloaded the twelve tomatoes from the tractor bucket and spread them around the back yard with the rest of the buckets. as long as the tractor was running,,,hmmmm,,,let's go get some buckets of dirt.. This time I hauled 18 buckets back.. each time I get some, I say, now I won't need any more.. but I always do...
DD told me that there should be lots of residual liquid fertilizer in the dirt from last year. she said they paid $300.oo for five gallons of it.. some kind of organic concentrate..
I decided to stay with plan A for the G>H>panels.. I know it will be a more stable one..

No, they just rotted...plain interior trim boards untreated...after about 5 years.

I did sell them, but kept one.
