Helpful hints for building coops

We've gotten more rain overnight. I am grateful for any rain. I think we're pretty much done with the drought, at least right here on our property. Michigan is still dry in some places.

We are SO lucky, compared to so many. I try to never forget that.

Really disliking this steamy weather. So i cranked up the ac in the studio and did some cleaning up. Worked on shaping the bottoms of 3 pieces i made at class thursday.
Tomorrow i really need to clean up the brooders. Hope no rain.

I'm sick of steamy too. Grateful for getting some much needed rain and the 13 tornadoes stayed north of me.

Yes, i was glad to get rain the other day, things were getting quite dry. One less thing to do, and the rain soaks in well.

The smoke is here too. It looked foggy this morning. Somewhat better now, so maybe some of it was fog.

Yeah, I got nuthin' and I mean NUTHIN' to complain about. It's not 90-100+ degrees, we've been getting rain -- but not too much, and nothing is burning.

I finished my rain barrels just about fifteen minutes before
a small thunderstorm came rumbling through.

when the barrel on the right gets full, the water will transfer over
to the barrel on the left through that white tubing.
Both barrels have spigots with hoses on the bottom
I will add a third barrel to the right of these two.

It sure is a struggle for me to get things done. Either it's too hot or i am too tired.
My truck is supposed to be fixed Wednesday. About time i would say. It would be three weeks on Saturday.

I got some brooder cleaning done today, and also took a Mule load of bedding out of the barn. Unloaded the sand from the Mule into the run of the original coop.
Did some work on ceramic mugs, got handles on and carved in texture. Plan to work on the giant Gnome later tonight.

They will like digging through the barn bedding..
