You can with a pipe bender but you have to be careful that you don't kink the pipe.

I like your ideas @silverhair67. Especially the round bale feeder. I look at the round corn silos that they have here on farms. About ten feet tall, metal roofs, concrete floor. I think one of those would make a totally cool chicken coop!

I have to admit that nobody has given me grief when I've asked for copies of tests. I've learned that it is the only way I can make sure other doctors know what is going on

I get hard copy printouts of all my labs mailed to me. Yeah, they're surprised when I ask, and it takes a while, but they do it.

They were really surprised when I wanted a copy of the X-ray of my broken wrist, and the one after it was set. Why did I want that? Because it's MY wrist...? I want to see what it looks like in there.

There shouldn't be a question, in my mind. That's YOUR info. It belongs to YOU.

Precisely! Your records belong to you, not the doctor. He's just using them for continuation of your care.

My tractor is done with conduduit. This was taken after we bought it home. A electrician built it for his wife. The birds kept being killed she got out of them.

Hey @silverhair67 , how bout some photos of the progress your making. Wanna see how your brain is working it out! Don't know if the hay ring you got separates in half, but the ones I see now a day at TSC do. Make nice small quanset huts.

You can use cattle panels for hoop coops

Probably because they know the sorry state of information access there.

Decaf but it reminds me of the real thing, LOL.

Hey at least you have "now" decaf which really doesn't taste different than "high test". Remember when your options were "real coffee" or Sanka? Yeah that stuff is coffee like "Near Beer" (*) is beer.

* my step-father, a non drinking alcoholic, drank Near Beer.

Yuppers, that's exactly what I did. Built the base frames 8 x 8 side by side, then bent the cattle panels into place. And since side by side the two coops were 16' used another cattle panel on the bottom half spanning the two back ends. Also in the front, cutting out the areas for the door with a saws all.
