Kristen’s Chickens and Farming Ventures

@Kris5902 That's a lot of work! You should treat yourself to a nice cup of hot cocoa before you head to bed.

I told Andrew before he left today to go pick up feed and plumbing parts “I’m ok quitting drinking beer for a wile, no really, we should... it’s too expensive”. That was at 11 am... fast forward to 3pm and I’m calling my mom to go make a beer run! I really deserve it! Plus we are out of hot coco... so maybe tomorrow

to get the remaining concrete poured ASAP.

The floor...or...?

 

[drumstick diva]

Good morning Kris

You've made fantastic progress and I hope you slept well

Well, the forms are basically all off, and I’m quite pleased with myself... been working in a gentle drizzle all day but no real rain. I should have the leveling, fill and floor drain all done tomorrow. Hoping to send in pictures on Tuesday to the building department and to get the remaining concrete poured ASAP.

Just a little bit bigger than a chicken coop! It’s a 40x40’ house, that front left section is a 20x20’ main floor master bedroom with en-suite for my Mom, library in the front right corner, and the back half of the house is Kitchen/dining/living room (left to right) The little bump out is for French doors to a south facing deck. Yes, I pulled off all the boards in those piles, and there’s two more you can’t see! Plus all the small stuff already in the burn piles.

I’d be Sleeping already if it weren’t for having to put the chickens up tonight.

Just amazing. I am so excited for you. Great work. Truly impressive.

Great job! You deserve a frosty mug. Before you know it you'll be picking out curtains and linens.

The floor...or...?

The floor of the crawlspace... yes, we are still at the underground part of the building! And a “crawl” space it truly will be! The north wall is only about 2’ high... so although we will still sort of be able to access the plumbing and such, it’s by no means a useable space otherwise

So exciting! Great work!

It's looking so good Kris. You are amazing!

How much time do you have before FIL gets back? I hope you can get the next lot of concrete poured before then with no hiccups.

If it threatens to rain just send it down our way
