Helpful hints for building coops

I don't remember when I wrote last. or what I wrote.
Saturday I charged the battery and rode the lawnmower down to check on the garlic , etc.
Garlic needs mulching,
The trees I planted last year all have sap in the upper branches. good sign.
the asparagus isn't up yet.
the rhubarb is coming up.
The snow is all gone, but some is forecast for tomorrow. It won't stay though.
If the rain holds off I will try to mulch the garlic today.

Looking good. I wish I had your energy

And I was whooped after planting 48 potatoes in a bed I didn't have to dig. Took me all morning and didn't get around to the straw until this morning

My energy is at an all time low. Dr. Can't seem to figure out what the issue is. My husband thinks i am a hypochondriac. But i know something isn't right, even though my labs look good.

I am currently building my biggest coop ever and thought about how many newbies are trying to build their first coop ever. Thinking of all you struggling to learn the use of tools and with questions on your mind about planning, i thought it would be helpful to share what i have learned and let others do the same. Even small tips can ease frustration in the building process. If you just want to share pictures of your progress, have at it. Let's share and encourage each other.
The usual back yard chicken rules apply. Please play nice, no need to be rude. Everyone has to learn sometime . Welcome to my coop building thread.

Thank you so much! From a newbie

I am laughing, but at the same time I've had to make an appointment with my doctor because my lungs are so bad that I had to come home from work despite having finished my steroids and my antibiotics.

My Universal experience with steroids oh, particularly methyl prednisone, is that it made me feel like Captain America even though my body was in the condition of pre serum Steve Rogers. At best. As soon as the steroid course was over, I was at least as sick as I had been before. Likely because I overdid it so much while on the steroids.

I've had them many times because of my asthma and I always enjoy the vacation from the arthritis while they're working.

I've also had a bad recovery from them -- the last time I had bronchitis this severe in fact -- when I had a particularly long course of steroids.

Bottom line is that, regardless of anything else, I HAVE TO BREATHE.
