Helpful hints for building coops

Not that i know of. Turns out the transmission is fried. $4500 to replace it. Not worth it on a 2007 truck.

Well that's terrible.
Price of used is crazy around here

It's never easy to find a good used truck. That isn't too old, too expensive, or too small. I always want a long bed truck, which is getting harder to find.

Can't find a long bed even new around here.

just a thought,
if your truck is in pretty good shape, other than
the tranny, maybe $45oo.oo would be worth fixing it.
what are you going to find for that amount ? and what
shape will a different truck be in ?
If you could get three more years out of it, ? $15oo.oo/per year ..
just my thought..

That's a wise thought.

Used vehicles are so hard to get right now.

I can't see buying a truck you can't even put plywood in properly.

The thing is, it was the tubing that caused the whole problem. How many other things have tubes or electrical parts that have decayed. ?

brake lines. serpentine belt, etc,
yes, those are things to be considered.
in my opinion, a truck is more convenient than a trailer.
my Chev Silverado had room between the wheel wells
for plywood to fit.
It's not the end of the world if plywood doesn't lie flat.

Well, we are having it fixed. But likely will trade it in on a different, newer one.
Our internet has been terrible lately.

that sounds like a good idea. You should easily get more than
the cost of the tranny on a trade in.
today Annie and I cleared all the unnecessary
trash away from the house and I weed whacked. then we
spread plastic down and made a walkway with some
granite around the corner to the outside faucets.
