Ron, it's you who are at odd hours

Yup, 4 it is. I don't think Virpi will lay today either. She's been sans oeuf for a week now.

I'm doing "Cooking and Carpentry with Felix" again, focusing on carpentry this time. I started making replacement air vents in the coop, but mother nature intervened. Hail falling down again, I just got two holes drilled in the service doors. Next I need to saw a little piece of pipe, and install a grill on both sides of my holes. Here's how the inside of my doors looks. 9 mm plywood, 30mm polyurethane coated on both sides with aluminium, airspace and 22mm wood.


And thank god for neighbors with proper tools.


I did the other vents with a battery operated drill, I think I had to use about 6 batteries for two small holes.
 
And we have vents! I still refuse to believe the amount of holes that people on BYC recommend you to cut on your coop. So far, with outside humidity being 85%, the inside humidity has not gone over 70%. I don't think that's too bad, ventilation would not keep it any lower. And sure, in the morning you can smell a bit of poop, but just enough to notice it's there, the smell isn't offensive.
