Thank you.... I need to work on buffing it more but its one of my favorites as well.

When I antiqued I got the mixture too strong and they all Went BLACK in seconds... :th With only 000 steel wool I couldnt get into the deeper nooks and crannies. Half the strenght will make it look like an old penny still brownish then you buff it out...

I have a work around so have been hand finishing little bits at a time.

Deb, you are progressing so much, and your work is impressive. I have never been what you'd call an artistic person, but then I had a friend who's mom was very artistic. She was doing a serenity garden in the back yard, and had this good sized rock. She didn't like the shape of it, and it was too big. I grabbed a chisel, and a small mallet, and began chipping away. When I got done, she was pleased, and claimed I was artistic. When I denied it, she explained there are lots of forms, and mediums for art, not just a canvas, and paint. So, you have found your art form, and are very artistic.

Ron, if you are zoned for chickens, or they are permitted, there's nothing your neighbors can really do. Even if you're not zoned for it, that was a lowdown thing to do. One more reason why I like a thick layer of sand under my coop, and run. Not only does it provide a lot of drainage, but you can keep the pooh washed down, and there's rarely any odor.

I got some permethrin today, and hope to mix it up tomorrow, and spray the coop, then the birds. Normally I use Sevin dust, but I think the spray will be easier.

I am allowed 6 hens, no roosters. I had to cull down to 6 but at this point the neighbors can't do anything.

The code enforcer knows about the silage and that the chickens do not smell.
