Guess I'm lucky, no service at all at our house. Nearest towers over 10miles away in each direction and the mountains, we live in a valley now. Many times get to work and see I have a message, walk in supervisor in a panic trying to get a hold of me all day, probably thinking I'm ignoring him like half of everyone else does. Don't know how many times I tell them to call my house, duh. Guess they forget when they're used to texting me once in awhile WHEN I'm at work. Couple of them have got a clue recently even though I'm not 'friends' with them on FB have resorted to using messenger to get my attention. I guess looking up my home phone number in the computer at work, its the only contact I have listed beings I haven't updated it since I started there, or even looking it up, I'm not unlisted phone # for everyone to see, must be too archaic now days, IDK? LOL.

Beer Can -- The technology is there (or not) for YOUR convenience.

I get a lot of grief for not having my cell on 24/7. My response is "Who needs portable drama?"

SCG -- Gotta love those brat critters. My diva greyhound, Dolce, cannot stand when attention goes to the phone. On cue she comes in and starts the loudest and plaintive whining. When that doesn't work, she resorts to HARD nibbling.
My court clerk had a cockatoo that would scream and destroy things when the phone was in use. Do you take the call or save the curtains?

I love the green of the pallet coop! Will the chickens peck at it?

The packing crate coop is nearly done! I need to fix the soffits so no varmints can get in. I have to install the pop door, put up perches, and make a run.

The roof is screwed on.

The flooring is installed, and after this picture was taken, I installed baseboards. Happy with progress.
I don't think the chickens will pick at the green, most of it is outside. I try to use light colors indoors.

Nope, a bear!

Good morning. Happy Friday! Anyone have fun weekend plans? I was supposed to do cemetery work but looks like thunderstorms both days this weekend, which means sewing days.

Cap did Sunny tree the bear, or did she have help?

Happy Friday morning to all!
Still have a lot of garden chores to contend with, but the near-future focus has to be on housework as we've got the kids coming in for July 2-7. One of the guest rooms at present has been used for storage and that needs to be remedied and made tidy. Just moving all the stuff out will be an endeavor. Then there's the cleaning. I will admit that housework is not my forte.

@CapricornFarm. A papillon treed a bear?

I was looking at the inside of your coop. Do you have problems with varmints tunneling under and habitating the crawl space under the floor? I am fighting that now with my old coop. Yes, I have metal sheeting 9 inches out from the coop but they are finding the outer edge and then burrowing under the whole flange. I told DH that my only option is to tear out the bottom half of the coop so it is no longer prime real estate. I have enough problems with the shed which is double walled.

@ronott1, I hope so also with the meds but at the moment I'm at a loss. The only thing that really helps me without causing a lot of side effects is steroids and I do not want to skip down that path. Not with already having osteoarthritis damage in my left hip.

@superchemicalgirl. I feel your pain. I've the same problem with my cell phone. I'll be standing on the backporch making an important call and their will be roosters crowing in the background. The person I'm talking to will pause and say...oh, you have chickens...My response is....no, I have too many roosters. Want a few?....That usually causes the conversation to proceed.

It is amazing the look people give you when you tell them not to be offended if they try to call and nobody answers. Sometimes it takes a week for our calls and voicemails to catch up with us where we live. Folks just don't understand that not everyone has a cell phone glued to their ear 24/7
