Grandpa told me, when I was a kid, never to let a hog in with a cow ready to calve; the hog would root up inside, pull the calf, killing the cow in the process, and eating the calf. I love all manner of pork, but I'll never keep hogs; don't even want to be around them.

Keeping species together is never a good idea.

Paddler, how did your NPIP catching and testing go?

Considering it involves catching a bunch of wild birds, it went smooth as silk.
Everything clean. With few adult birds, I only had to catch all the birds in one building, a pair in another building and the 6 new birds in 3 carriers.
The tester said since one flock of birds almost 4 months of age he wanted to test those too. That may have been the most traumatic but the coop fairy and I pulled it off without a hitch.

Sorry about my "fowl" mouth in the above post.:cd What I really meant to say was today sucked EGGS! Dirty rotten poopy covered EGGS!  Like I said I don't have kids so sometimes words just fly around here. I have to maintain cool at work & I think I have a case of cabin fever on top of it all. But my Serama "Stan" is still alive. He tore into some mealworms & I put them all to bed-which is where I am headed now. Good night everyone and thanks for sharing all the cute pics of you feathered famiies and all the helpful hints. It makes being "cooped up" a lot better

Night! Hope you & the roo soon recover.

Finishing the back side of the roof is definitely a 2-man operation, & BIL may be out of commission for a while with health problems. Have a call in to another carpenter friend, but haven't heard anything out of him...didn't answer his phone earlier.

The end closest end is what I'm working on. Already have one nailed in place, except for what I need to move the ladder to reach. I can set the bottom of the next one up onto the blocks & maybe rig a harness for the top end & use a pulley on a rafter to raise it...not sure

Thinking out loud here what would be the harm of cutting the 4/8 into 2 2/8's marking the cuts for match. I mean heck when we did shake roof it was 1/4's spaced sheeted. Take twice as long but I think it's the way I'd do it. I was thinking of the pulley.
