I agree with not letting stuff eat you alive. It's better to blow a gasket on multiple occasions, than keep it in waiting for the big explosion.
sour, glad Jennifer is coming home.

I washed out water buckets, and nest boxes yesterday, then took tarps down. It's getting warmer, so the coop needs the additional air flow. I couldn't just take them all down, and leave them that way. I had to adjust size, and placement on a couple sections. So I got the ladder, and stapler then put the smaller ones where I needed them. I got a bit overheated, but managed to get it all done, and everything put away, then came inside to cool off. Dd #2 called. She and her Dh were bored, and wanted to come over.
Normally, when she says she wants to come swimming, she comes over, but never gets in the pool. Well, she really did want to go swimming. Due to all the rain, the pool is not quite as warm as I like it. We put the pool heater on, knocked the chill off, and everyone went swimming. Later, I ran and got fried chicken, with assorted sides for us all to eat. Needless to say, by the time they left, I was very tired. It was a good tired though. Went to bed at 11:00, and slept the whole night through.
