Our new enclosure in progress...

[HelplessHomeSteader]

Got a few chickens and ducks on the 4th of July to teach our children how to gain thier Independence from Walmart.

We needed to build them a permanent home to free up the dog pen I've been using as a make shift coop and run.
We've finally decided to build off an old shed in case the Pennsylvania weather got too bad I could always just put a hole in the side and let them take it over. Hopefully we will get the roof Finished in the next few days, fill in all the gaps and finish sleeping quarters. So far it's been a rewarding endever taken on by me and my son.

Thanks, start with cordless power drill and screws but after 30 mins I went to Lowe's and dropped $179.00 for a framing nailer. Totally worth the money in time saved and ease of use.

Finished off the project real quick and just return the framing nail gun for a full refund!

Shamo, if I really didn't want one I would but I love it and plan on building a good bit of infrastructure around the homestead this next 2 years. We just got 6 arces and fled the city. So lots of projects to complete.
