Thanks! Laziness is the mother of invention!

I'm too lazy to spend the time to think these things up.

For now it's a mash... giving it before it's fermented.
Holy crap that bucket is expensive! $153? I can get those square buckets for free @ work. Hmmm...

Here is it $54.00 Still expensive. They are easy to make yourself though.

Good morning. Clothes drying, dishwasher working, and i need to go let out the chickens. Got a meeting to sell a Jake turkey, keep whittling them down. Yay!

Do too much of that and you won't need the new turkey coop!

Especially when Ken does most of the work
I know, I know

Ha!! I did most of the work on this project, so there! I cutted and glueded and drilleded. He did thread the chains for me, though, so I could take the photos.

 

[bruceha2000]

You have pictures of HIM working but he didn't take any of YOU working. The bum!

Hattie waiting patiently...with her toy of course...for a squirrel she thinks is in the auger. She does this day after dayEvery time I go to the coop she goes here.

Beautiful dog

Maybe there IS a squirrel in the auger! Our cats were expressing uncommon interest in the wood stove last night. I looked in the stove in case a bird got in down the chimney, nada. But they were at it again today. There is a thin piece of insulating "board" that breaks and after replacing it twice at a not trivial cost I decided to just leave the chunk out. DD's have better eyes that I do and they spotted a little brown bat in that "niche". It later moved above the air plate where we couldn't get to it so I've taken the clean out cap off the chimney outside, hopefully the bat will figure out it now has an easy means of escape. I guess we'll know when the cats don't go stare at the stove for a few days.

Thank you! There’s been a couple squirrels in there and she remembers. She goes nuts over them. I hate bats!! Glad I don’t have them. Mine were pawing under the carpet cleaner the other day so I moved it and there was a cricket. I’m not sure which one ate it

Bats are GOOD!!!!! They eat a ton of night flying insects and sleep during the day when we all are outside.
