MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Wow. That’s a lot.
Wish he were closer - I have a long list he could tackle!

My brother's a chef and he's out of work right now, which means he's had time and inclination to do some handyman work for me!

He's

• Cleaned the big coop
• Cleaned the little coop
• Assembled nest boxes
• Moved plants around
• Cut down the reeds
• Stopped sparrows from getting into the big coop
• Paved the interior perimeter of the funrun up to the point of running out of pavers
• Painted some timber
• Worked on the new roost
• Tidied the garage so I can get my bike out without removing the wheelbarrow first
• Cut some branches into kindling
• Attempted to take rubble to the tip, had to bring it back again
• Fed the citruses
• Staked a couple of cuttings
• Installed hooks on the living room window frames
• Flushed out and stored a hose
• Removed the old misting system from the big coop (I couldn't think of a time it might be needed)
• Helped me move a heavy cupboard
• Put a new back on another cupboard

It might sound unkind, but I love it when he's out of work! It makes a nice change to have a reliable tradie available. Tomorrow he's going to do more work on the new roost. At some point, he's going to stain the new picnic table.

Awesome brother! Is he feeding you as well?

I hope I haven't been taking over your thread too much. Just say so, and I'll go somewhere else
@LozzyR here's the video I took.

You will never know what a gift this is. To see these two in their new home on the same day that chicoryblue's Peanut passed away is really heart warming. It's funny how life can give you balance like that.

It's wonderful that he is so willing to help you out and capable.

And he only charges $30/hour!

No, but I'm feeding him afternoon tea!

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or truth. I don't know how to respond.

Well, I'm happy to help him out with money while he's between jobs and happy to cross so many tasks off the list. He's also quite cheap compared to other tradies. So it's win-win-win.

MJ I thought you would enjoy this cuddle puddle (your brilliant phrase originally if memory serves).
They are right where I need to place my foot to go down the step into the Chicken Palace to fill feeders etc.

Aww, poor Peanut. I’ll hop over to your thread and give her a hug.
