made a trip to town today did a price check lumber the build a 20x20 fly pen area
sub-divided into 8 pens 5' x 8' 6" x 8' tall each. central walk path 3'x20'
lumber cost alone was about +or- alittle
12' treated 5/4 x 6" decking boards -------------------$75.00
12' treaded 2x4 netting support beams --------------$19.42
8' treated 5/4 x 6" x 8' -----------------------------------$65.00
i spoke to the lumber yard man he said they had most all of this in a batch to be cut up today
for cull lumber as some was a little bent and checked some on the ends.
i asked well how much for all of it he did the math and said will you pay $15.00 for all of this?
well i took his deal and praised the lord amen.i had to modify my plans.
the cull lumber was well suited for a 12'x24' area so thats what i did at the price
i could get the lumber
redneck mini van with some 300' of wood and a little hemp twine. lol
basic frame made with less then $30.00 in lumber
the 12' x 24' frame with wire 2"x4" 100' roll used about $60.00 worth of the roll
plus chicken wire as the chicks are still small used about $30.00 or the roll
my wife Dee working
