I hope circumstances are improving.

Also, a couple eggs in the incubator, due to hatch in the next couple days. Ducks and Turkeys. Haven't candled, have no clue... Desperately need a place to set the brooder box if they do hatch. Headed out to deal w/ that now.

 

[U_Stormcrow]

None of the turkey eggs were fertile. That leaves one (1) duck to hatch in the next couple days.

Which makes the brooder box thing less critical - I have room for one duck in a way I didn't have room for a half dozen turkeys and a duck.

Venison??? Got your gun sighted in yet?

 

[U_Stormcrow]

No venison. Did get half the RV floored - last couple weekends were cutting screwing down and caulking together the decking to cover the old floor (rotting out).

and picked up some 6' black chain link fencing on clearance - going to build a large run for grow out purposes (and to protect the greenhouse clear poly from the goats - who rub against every vertical surface).

Dang, man, you're making my knees ache, thinking about that! Do you need to do the other half too?

Yes - there's a {triple explicative} of a cut around a doorframe into the bathroom that has me absolutely terrified. Once it is done, and the piece next to it, the rest of the cuts are (relatively) simple. Click lock flooring just isn't a great choice for continuous run on either side of a crooked wall thru a doorframe. Would have been easier (MUCH) if I had run the flooring short wall to short wall, instead of going long - but this way the camper looks bigger, and I waste less material.

I'll give it two tries - if I'm close, I'll use the fails as template for a third. if not, I'll cut the board and use a transition.

Then I have to pull the bench with all the cookware stored underneath, both monitors, three computers and associated wiring, two cabinets and a door (my desk), finish the last 4 or 5 rows (the bump-out "office") and reassemble said office.

Can you get a piece of cardboard and use that as a template? Easy to shave off a little bit in one spot, build up another with some tape. Make it so that it fits, and use it as a pattern.

Then put quarter round where the wall and floor meet. That stuff hides a lot of not-so-pretty spots.
