So, bearing in mind the tidying up starts on Saturday, here are a few snaps. Nothing in the run is in its permanent position yet. It's all still jumbled.
I took this one while standing beside the pergola. The clothesline and the concrete to the left will eventually be removed. You can see the pop door open and the wide doors open on the right

In this photo, I've walked forward and turned to the right and you can see the wide half doors open and the puppy play pen panels across the front of the jacaranda. I did that so the hens could become accustomed to using the pop door, which they have, so tomorrow morning I'm going to try shepherding them through the pop door instead of the big doors. This will be a big change for them because they've been using the big doors since January. Maybe the pop door gives you a sense of perspective? Mary is quite tall, up to my knee, and she gets through it easily.

In this snap, you're looking through the big doors at the little coop where folks lay their eggs, an old bin on its side (potential nest but no one uses it), and a pile of big logs and tree stumps in the back corner.

Remember, nothing is in it's proper place yet.
In this shot, you've moved into the run and can see the old tables that provide some shelter from the Sun and rain.

In this snap, I've rotated to the left and you can see both tables and the far left corner of the run. That's the corner where the roost will eventually be located

In this one, the pop door is visible on the left and the big coop beyond the run. And my seat!! The upturned milk crate.

Next photo, I'm standing in the front left corner, looking past the milk crate and tables at the back of the run. The top left corner of the run is where the roost will be

Here, I've stepped forward and looked back across the little coop. You can also see a few more stumps and logs around the old tables for a little more privacy for the hens and a sense of security.

In this one, I'm in the corner where the roost will be. You can see an old laundry basket on its side. That's another potential nest that nobody uses.

Lastly, I'm in the back right corner of the run, looking at where the roost will be. In this photo you get a sense of the space between the run and the back fence. This space will prevent the terrier who lives over the fence from digging into the run. It will be paved eventually.

And that's all for now!
