The patio deck is 14 feet wide, and it must be just over 20 feet long. Then the concrete continues around the side of the house that is used mostly as a utility area, That side of the house has the the shed, greenhouse, and chicken coop in it. We also use the area to hang laundry, and the picnic table that we use to process the meat birds. It is so nice to not have to deal with gravel anymore. I am looking forward to maybe having cleaner floors soon.

Awesome!
I am in mud right now, and dirt...and it is unbelievably filthy 24/7.
We put down gravel, but still there is mud and sand that is tracked in.
We stake out and pour our foundation soon for our house.
That is the turning point.
Once the foundation is poured, we can get to building.
Right now I am stashing money away to pay for the contractor and pour.
I am even putting the egg money in my savings.

How hot is it up there anyway ?
It is always so cold up your way evertime we drive up there it has been like instant winter.
You are really really not used to heat up there.

I am seriously considering bees next year as we need them so badly.
I am not so much into the honey harvesting though.
In CA where we stayed (were trapped) for a couple years there was a guy who worked neighborhood communities with his bees.
He had a management business where he and his sons would come out like once a month and maintain the hives, feed them, etc and if you had bees he would take care of them, and harvest and give you back something like a gallon of half gallon of bottled honey.
If you had a nice little garden/orchard, he would bring hives out and set them.
Once the star thistles were about to bloom he would come remove the hives as the thistle pollen is bitter and not good for the bees.
It is a fantastic set up, everyone gets what they want, and the man made a nice profit harvesting honey and providing pollenation to big farms.
Unless you want more honey to sell yourself, I think we had plenty of honey to use and give away to the relatives.
And we never had to get sticky.
We were doing it ourselves and that proved to be a bummer.
No one was available to help harvest, everyone in the family is somewhere doing something else when you need help with the bees.

I now have a buff orp out there also, but only about 2 1/2 months old at this point. She was a birthday present for my 5-year-old, whose favorite color is yellow. He carries her all over the place...

I am giving away my 8x8 Square Foot shed. I just put a new shed in and I don’t need this one anymore. This is a complete shed all you need to do is take it down then put it back up at your place. The walls are 8 foot high and it has a loft that is 4 foot at the peak. It has a shelf on the left side and a wood floor. The shed is in good shape you just may want to put some plywood on the roof then put the rubber roofing material over it. With that said it has a rubber roof that works well at keeping the rain out but can be closed off for better heat retention. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. this is a good deal i just want it gone. oh and you will need to bring a hammer crowbar and screwdriver to assist you with taking it apart. i also have extra pier blocks if you want them. once the ad is gone, that means the shed is gone. Oh it is painted a cream color and has t-1-11 siding (i think thats what it is) it is 2x4 construction and very sturdy. stood up in many wind storms and is only about 3 years old. thanks
u can call me at 360-801-9867
