Two days went by & nothing! And then, last night he (all of the sudden, out of the blue), said that I should have the woodshop kids built me one (he works at the high school & weve had them do a tack shed, a deluxe dog house & a housing for our fence charger & all of them turned out pretty good! He thought I would be able to do my designs for about $300 with labor, included. Not too bad, but I thought about it (when I couldnt sleep last night) and I was really hoping Id be able to get about SIX of these coops maybe not all at once, but maybe two or three next spring/summer.
So I e-mailed him at lunch & asked if hed had a chance to look at my plans & told him that I would be saving up my soap/artwork/blanket/egg money to help fund these coops. Oh and I sold a horse, so some of that will go towards the coops.
This is his response:
You pay for it you build it. I will teach you how to build and use power tools. I would help you. But you will be doing most of it. Then, you can appreciate the time/effort/resources that it takes to build stuff--and pick up so more skills. It would be really good for you then you would be better at making repairs with tools and building things. I would definitely work with you though I dont want you to ruin or leave out my tools.
My response:
Better be careful at what you teach me. I will soon have a world-domination-sized poultry village!
And unfortunately, he has not responded! I should probably wait until I get maybe one or two of them built before I tell him my real plans?
