I want one set up just the way you described, Jody. Dream on, huh?

I know what you mean, Cyn. I didn't really want to spend the money on this thing but we really need it and just don't have the time or energy to build one. lol

We got the soil level and ordered stone. Once we get that delivered and leveled out, we can call to have it delivered. Hopefully this week.

Jody....I can't even begin to tell you how jealous I am!!

 

[hinkjc]

UGH..I am so irritated that it stormed like crazy today and made our level coop spot a mud patch.

Here's hoping for sunshine tomorrow to dry this mess up, so we can get our stone.

Oh, and 4 more trees gotta go.

Darn that rain! Think sun......Think sun.........

Congrats on the new coop! That is fantastic......I'm so envious!

Took some more trees down today, so thought I'd share some pics. The stone was delivered successfully as well, without getting stuck. LOL

This was the tallest tree this round that we had to deal with. We were really worried it would fall on a coop. DH did the sawing, while DD and I pulled on the rope, hoping to steer it away from the coops.

2 smaller trees went this way.. One dead and one alive.

And another down our path (which landed right next to a hornets nest...ack). I don't think the bees appreciated the sudden gush of wind.

Site prepping and leveling is almost complete..

Whew! Tomorrow we will finish cutting up next year's firewood and pile up the brush piles for spring rabbit breeding season.

The new coop is coming Saturday morning!

I can't wait to share more pics as we progress.

It's here!

No problems getting it in, even with all the rain we have been getting. I am so relieved it is finally here. Now begins the renovations into a chicken breeding pen.
