The building of Pea Palace(Pic Heavy)

[frenchblackcopper]

Here is the last pen that still needs one entry door and the side completed. It is in front of the alleyway on the corn crib so the concrete floor you see can be used. I can close the other end completey off and use the alleyway and this pen to possibly house 1 year old peas

How many bottles of wine have you gone through since starting this project?

 

[frenchblackcopper]

kuntrygirl, If I "nipped" while building things probably wouldn't line up correctly,or boards would be cut too short or my finger would get chopped off. When the Merlot comes out it's the end of the day,or celebration of new life.Last summer we used 2 bottles of German imported Eisewine, 3 bottles of Blackberry Merlot, a couple of bottles of Asti Spumante (Martini and Rossi only) and 2 bottles of Red Reggae Splash from Sams club. Hatch-a-longs started in mid May last year thru Early September. I'm sure a few bottles have not been counted especially when we go camping but very seldom do I stay as I always try to have one hatch group on Sat-Sunday when I know I'll be around all day.

I forget what thread it was that you said you were undecided on naming your Taupe boy, while I'm reading this thread I figured I'd say this here.. I'm not sure if you decided on anything yet, but I'd name him "Vino."

Oh I LOVE the Asti Spumante!!! I will have to catch up with you on the # of bottles that I have in stock. I'm too far behind ya.

Scored a BIG homerun today!! Man decided to take down his chain link fence so he could mow grass faster and brought in roll after roll of 5' chain link fence.11 rolls total and 3 of those rolls are at least 3 1/2' around.I'm guessing over 1000' total but this will be a major cost cutting factor on Pea Palace west side edition.

Good for you, i scored 200 feet from my parents place, still havn't used it but it is here when i need it

 

[frenchblackcopper]

I just scored,from a good friend,,24 sections of 8'x12' chain link fence that is within it's own framework,,giving me 288 more feet of chain link fence for pen building in 2014.Also,possibly my best find ever,,my boss bought a business and the old owner had a stack of 50 new,3'x20' steel siding pieces. My boss owed me a comission,so he gave them to me,so now all I need are more 4"x4" square wood posts,and top netting,and the building will continue. The sectional chain link fence along with the 9 other diffrent sized rolls I got this summer should give me plenty of the most expensive components for continued expansion.I will definately build new pens for White,Sonja's Violetta,Peach,and mixing of BSSP and seperate colors,such as Opal x bssp,Bronze x bssp,Midnight x bssp,Cameo x bssp,plus a huge growing pen or two.

That is great! I am sure the Sonja's Violeta pen will house some beautiful peafowl.

I love all of your pens and your Peafowl. Most interested to know if you will be selling any eggs in the Spring/Summer of 2014.
