So......we drove to South Bend, and there was the 20 foot long box!!!
We got the Ryobi sawsall out & DH quickly cut the box in half.
Then he & I loaded the first 10 foot section, and then we got the next 10 foot section in the appropriate position, turned it upside own & seated within the first section, stapped it down, I hung a red flag on the protruding 4 feet, and off we went.
Got home, cut 2 ends, screwed them on, while I loaded 1 year old compost in the empty trailer, hauled it up to the garden boxes & unloaded into them.
Then got the tomatoes & summer squash starts out of the hot beds, and planted them.
Then put the cut fence wire on top, it is nice & round...and covered & stapled down with plastic.
Row covered....

Then DH went to town & got 4 bags of sand and 24 red 12" concrete pavers, and we made a porch here on our wee barn......and I am One tired turkey...hands are raw, chicken on the barbie, and I went to check my Java hen who ha had a 3" slice right behind her rib cage from MrJava..and after 1 week of triple antibiotic oinment, the chicken skin was finally pliable enough to suture.
It was previously too dried and withdrawn to strecth and be able to suture....I have been globbing ointment on her for a week.
Should have had a saddle on her in the first palce but after the fact...
So I dug the dirts out, debridded, and irrigated with betadine, and with assistance from my sweet DH....I sutured the 4" gash in the java hen.
All is well in the world now............and I am one tired woman.............thanks I remembered how to suture, and had a ready first aide kit!

Went up to see wa4hpoultrymom and pick up the new babies!! BLRW's and Lav/split orps!! Trip was good got a chance to see Tam's flocks and talk chicken, I learned so much and it's really great to get a chance to meet the great people on this forum!! The weather even held out?? Who knew??
Anyway I had to stop about 5 times cause I was freaked out about whether the chicks were too hot or not hot enough! I did however stop to get a iced coffee to keep me going made it as far as Snoqualmie took a turn off the freeway and went into town!! BIG MISTAKE!! Of course I found the SB right next to the IGA, but, guessed what I passed on the way there?? The public library with a big FAT BOOK SALE SIGN!!!! so, of course, I couldn't resist, cause I love to collect books, and I thought there isn't anything wrong with looking??? I made sure everyone was comfie and I sauntered on over!! Ok, well I did buy acouple!! LOL

Dang, Wish I'd known you were coming this way - I would have met you for coffee! I'm between exit 31 and 32 (well at least as far as the roads go as I am 3 mi E of exit 31, but the street does not connect to exit 34.)

Chicks are cute!
 
Hoping ByNatureFarms and his family are ok after the most recent round of storms today!!!!

You put up some pics once and that was enough!!! What did you say... 10 x14? Yikes! You are a more sane and controlled person than me! They'd have hauled me off to the funny farm long ago! I can't handle small spaces for very long.
