careful table saws are knuckle eaters believe me

Lol, table saws are easy, I get more worried using my chain saw or reciprocating saw, never know when something might shift when cutting tree branches or metal with those. But I love my power tools and won't give them up, lol.

Hmm I've got some work to do tomorrow. I need to figure out how to get a roosting bar tugged up.

do you have a old ladder? the wooden ones are best if can take the back half of the ladder off and cut off as many roost levels as you want.

yeah my table saw doesn't have a guard or a guide so shes a bit more dangerous

I could make the kill. But since I have a hard time within, and my hubby don't, I just make him do that part.i have done it in the past. I don't know why it bothers me so much now.

i have never been able to touch the cull bird without my rubber gloves so don't feel bad

It was from in the US. I already got it. But with the kids having a pool party haven't messed with it yet.

yeah i can't wait till im done setting up our pool its been really hot lately (not as hot as it could be but still) it's above ground but i'm still trying to figure out a filter system that won't be harmful to the ducks i would love for them to have a full(er) sized pool to swim in while im at school or at work

Ouch! I love table saws and started using them when I was going up helping out my dad. I find making stright cuts was easier with one, but I think I'm going to have to make do with my circular saw I was trying to upcycle some old fencing wood but that just isn't going to be worth it. Now I have to buy plywood which will be easier to work with but is going to cost me since it's not free.

Oh I also have a question for y'all. I am going to raise my coop off the ground and was wondering if 18 inches would be sufficient or if I was better off at 2 feet. My hubby thinks 18 inches is more than enough but I don't know. The whole coop will be 4ft deep and 8 feet long. I don't want to go higher than 2 feet because I'm trying to keep the whole coop level with our fence. We live in saburbia and I like my neighbors.

!8 inches is recommended height, but 2 feet is ok. I, personally prfer 18 inches, because the higher you go with the coop, the harder it is to reach inside to clean and maintain.

What is going in the coop ? Are the birds going to be able to go under the coop ? The height all depends on what your plans are if they are full size chickens then I would say 2ft , if bantams 18in would do fine , and if ducks I have no clue cause I don't have ducks.
