Someone please tell my wife

that I am not going overboard with the coop and barn upgrade.

I am renting a trencher.

I want to upgrade the power to the barn and I figured while I have a trench cut from the house to the barn I might as well add a few extras.

I figure I would run a water line, cable, phone line and computer line, and a gas line.

Now I'm not hooking this all up at once. I figure while the hole is there now is the time to add this stuff.

Water she agrees with, she doesn't like having to drag a hundred feet of hose to water her flowers.

Power, well I sort of have her convinced I need 220 out there.

Well cable you just never know how long that game is going to run over.

Phone line she agrees with too, our cordless doesn't work very well out there.

I figured I would run computer line in case I ever install a web cam in the coop. But that one might take some more convincing.

Gas line so I can finally heat my barn.

Oh and there's the vinyl siding I'm currently putting up on the coop, and the privacy fence I still need to get so you cant see the run from the street or the neighbors.


I really don't see her problem.

Don't forget the intercom so you can keep an ear out for trouble while you sleep.

I don't see her problem, either...you're a keeper!

Skip's an over-builder also and I can't wait to turn him loose when we move out to the family farm!!!

I see no problem at all with what your doing..
I read your post to hubby and he agreed. Nothing wrong with doing it right the first time...

Now if he would just take the same attitude and do that here...hahaha

Actually he said he is only going to build our pens once. So they are actually pretty big. A lot larger than what we need at the moment. But that always just leaves room for exspanding...
I would love for him to put in the hydrent so we don't have to lug water buckets through the barn...

Again...See nothing wrong with how you planning/doing your constuction....
