So we were busy today - spent the first part of the morning delivering Adirondack sets to Mike's customers. Then we hit Lowe's so I could get the paint and floor sealant I needed for the coop and Mike could get the tar and webbing he needed to seal the roof. We then came home and got busy. Here are the results of our labour:

We still have the arbor, the trim around the side and back wire, the door on the back, the roosts and the nesting boxes to finish up...but, it's really coming along wonderfully. I'm thrilled with it.

Looks great!

a few years ago my husband sent me a package from Afghanistan.. he made the mistake of putting "fragile" on it... the box (well.. address label was all that was left of it) arrived and contents of what HAD been in the box were now in a plastic bag... the box had been pretty much destroyed in transit.. so somewhere along the way someone bothered to pick up the pieces they could find and the label off the box.. then placed it in the bag marked "received damaged"

I should have taken a picture of it... it made this one look like it was in perfect condition



he recently mailed me a crystal seahorse .. I am interested to see what kind of shape it's in when it arrives...

yup...

any that I get marked "fragile" usually look a lot like this one...

Someone would have been getting yelled at.

I have a pic i would LOVE to post... but it would upset any small children who happened to be looking over mom & dad's shoulder

lets just say.. it fits in VERY well with my sick sense of humor..

Lol, that is cute. You should put it up this evening when all the easter festivities are over!

the problem with the damaged box is who to yell at?.. unfortunately the ones who kill boxes don't sign their "work"

Ok, all - have a request to make. Could you go here (https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/761171/help-decide-coop-design) and vote? We're trying to decide what kind of awning to use on the front of the hotel.

Yeah - and tracking doesn't do any good because they don't have to take photographs of conditions of the parcels....just scan that it got there.

True, but I sure want something to be done about it.
