Your great help... I love the video and song

Not your fault that your coop is leak proof...

Well, truth be told, my coop isn't totally leak-proof. I have a "mystery leak" that will appear after a hard rain. I'll find a small wet spot on the floor up towards the north wall. I figure it has to be coming from where the panels were snapped into the flooring. So being the OCD person I am I have wrapped the entire perimeter on the outside with that asphalt flashing stuff, it has a gluey backing, it comes 8" x 25' rolls and I put that on about 2" above the seam line and on down. That seemed to work (notice the word "seemed"?) but then we had a really really bad thunderstorm this week and sure enough, the wet spot returned. I have now armed myself with architectural grade exterior 100% silicone goop ..comes in a tube. I'll be running a seam of it along the top edge of the flashing....IT NEVER ENDS!!!

Well.....when I get the last posthole dug and post set...

..I think I'll have a party and invite everyone within driving distance who's able...to help me put on the run hardwire............I've got it already and I have an old door which I'm going to have to frame out and hang......It may be winter by then!! LOL I got one dug today and post leveled up...will dig another tomorrow, put in the post and quickcrete .. in the pictures, the cement blocks are there just to hold the post in the proper position. If you all hang around long enough, you will see my coop/run complete...

Ok...I couldn't stand it.... Let me see. hmmmmm! DH and dr. said to take a nap today.....the longer I sat here and looked at this pict, (they didn't know that I even dug one hole sooooo), I went out and dug a second hole, put the pole in and wrestled an 80 lb bag of quickcrete...1/2 in each hole and poured the water to it!!!!

One thing about RMSF is dehydration due to excess sweating....had to come in and change clothes and get the hair dryer.... Now the question???? I know dh's going to ask about my "nap". Can I lye or just what do I do now?

LOL

LOLOL.........then he's going to see what I did ....!!!!!!!

Between he and the dr......they are going to eat my a__ out anyway. But hey, he's the one who is NOT the "chicken" person and in all fairness...is not a handy man... just so sweet! LOL
All the tools that I have used are ones that I have bought for him and were basically never used...

go ahead... Hide in the coop... Lol

I didn't run quickly enough...he's home! He hasn't said anything yet so I may be safe.... But even though I don't like the Karma word...it got me sitting right here on the couch.! Now remember I changed clothes??? Felt something crawling on my leg....inside my pants..... reached down and pinched it with my fingers to hold it and I came out of those pants!

They were baggy but there still wasn't enough room for both of us!!!!

He was little but a lot bigger than a tick which is what I'm paranoid about!!!! I really hate that I injured him when I pinched him.....but ....here he is:
He wasn't even big enough to have his little tail.....!
