Helpful hints for building coops

before I knew it, I was out there in 15F for over a half an hour. I graded the whole driveway and parking area.. It felt good to be driving Ollie again..

Well, once you're up there<shrugs>
Clutch pedal 'old' or 'new' side?

Glad you are feeling well. I am not going to have helpers tomorrow, but I will have some peace and quiet. Two weeks with 4 grandchildren= insanity.

clutch on the left side. That is why I had my left hip done first. I figured it would be healed
well enough once the snow started fallin

Good Plan!
The only big tractor I ever drove was so hard to clutch I could barely do it.
Hopefully yours doesn't take that much force.

My Oliver clutch is just like a Ford 8N.
I can push it down by hand easily. So stepping on it is really easy.
today I took the cable to the tachometer off.
I cleaned it and oiled it. It looks kind of beat up at the end that goes into the distributor. I
am thinking of just buying a new one rather than trying to fix that square end..
we ended up with 3" of really wet snow. but a lot of it has melted despite there was no sun..

I have no idea what model this tractor was, just that I never wanted to drive it again.

My coop refurbish is coming along well. Got new perches installed today. I want to build a wind baffle for the pop door that doesn't have one. And modify the homemade feeder I took off. The chickens were having trouble getting enough feed out . Can hardly wait to finish and get the chickens moved in. Tomorrow I am going to the feed store and some other places to get stuff I need. Been stuck at home too long.

I got most of the stuff I needed, but hit a deer on the way home. Luckily it was small, and I don't think my truck got damaged.

No good!

I love venison, but not as a hood ornament.
