Yep, colder and really windy today. Guess if I have to work today would be a day to be here.
Worked yesterday then did chores and started to do some extras but as temps fell so did my motivation.
Built some 2x4 frames with wood on top few days ago to set rubber water bowls on over the winter. Try to cut down on debris being kicked into them and hopefully not have to deal with them freezing to the ground like last year. Each holds two of the three gallon ones. Leveled spots and set up 4 of those. Flipped, stacked and stored a couple of the plastic brooder pens. Cut up a pallet and cut a few more boards so tonight indoors I'm gonna slap together a mini heavy duty pallet to set the latest freezer on in the barn. Idk what it is but things find their way to work themselves into the ground sometimes here. That's how I'm gonna eliminate that. Otherwise come spring I might have to hire a boy with a metal detector to come and find it for me.
Another goal for today is to work on or finish a window. The chick house has several windows. There's one that's just hardware cloth and the breeze goes right into the brooder I'm about to put the laundry room chicks In. I got a piece of plexiglass that I'm going to frame in to fit in the hole. Going to hinge it so it opens upwards so once it warms up again I can open it up but also use it to keep rain from coming in.
Tomorrow day two of cold so probably run errands and such and not much chickening.
