Meet my Chick!

[BY Bob]

Good morning Bob how are you today? Any plans or just relaxing before Monday

I think I am going to build a small pool shed today, burn some brush, and maybe plant some grass. Everything outdoors!

Sounds like a good day

Oh, how adorable! The name Trump is just so perfect for him/her! The other chicks are so very cute too!

I am very impressed that you are going to build a shed. My level of ambition for today is: empty compost bin (now there is enough melt to get to the compost heap); top up chicken feeders; clear kitchen table; find a nice log to make an additional breakfast bar for the Chicken Palace.
I am sure I will be exhausted achieving just those things!
Looking forward to seeing the shed build - can we have some pictures along the way?

Of course. It's not going to be large. More like a chicken coop in size. I am designing right now.

Chicken coop sized. Hmmm.
I wonder if that might be used for more chickens.

So here is what I am dealing with.

It's this area of pool equipment that I wish to enclose. I need to be mindful of several things as I do this.

• The pool filter must be accessible to be removed out the top
• The electrical components must all be reachable
• I cannot enclose the pool heater in spring or fall but could/should enclose it for winter
• There must be adequate space to pass by the shed as you enter the yard from the side gate. Dealing with the woodpile has made this possible but I don't want to pinch it tight with the shed now.
• I need easy access to the main valve
• It should not be an eyesore like the equipment is today.

Here are some photos.

Here is my design sketched over a photo.

And my rough sketches.

I'm off to the lumber yard!

Yet I get do frustrated by it. I spent 15 minutes looking for a pair of shoes yesterday. What a waste!

I misplace things sometimes, including shoes...I agree, it's very frustrating. Lol
