Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[ocap]

putting the wire ceiling on my new chicken pen.
I am using Alaskan's idea to support chicken wire with a heavy gauge mesh, I chose 4x16 cattle panels, total cost of wire for ceiling is 50 cents a square foot. The panels needed wood support every 3.5 feet to prevent sagging (without a snow load), I will see what winter does to my project.
free pea fowl are not free when they require another pen!

now more coffee.

For our 25th anniversary five years ago, we built our pen and run and got chickens...kind of in that order.
So anyway, I asked what we are going to do for our 30th next week, and I was expecting: Woodshed, Proper nursery bathroom, An outlet for my kiln, dinner out.

something...needed or nice or on the list.

and he said, " I think we should repaint the chicken coop."
Our house- the place we live in, has not been painted in 25 years, but hey.

sigh. okay he is right.


In my next life I want a romantic.

I'd say that's romantic... On Karin's last birthday, she got a gift card, entitling her to one chicken coop. She was very happy with this gift.

snapped this in between the snows this morning. Now coming down pretty good again.
Took this thru our front screen door. Had to show off the new ramp my DH built for me

The self sticking roll roof (looks like a rug) for anti-skid was my idea

Chicki, looks good. And looks like you've got some snow too, we got some today as well.
