Tonight I finished a project that has been on my to-do list for at least a year: Build decent chicken roosts.
I used two cheap, old, terrible metal sawhorses and 2x3s. I replaced the very sad MDF stringers with scrap 2x6.
I have an 18 inch overhang because I had slight concerns about stability and maybe sagging. It’s only a 4-ft span between 2x6s. I hope the ladies like them.

My chickens are now in a co-op, so expect egg prices to go up.

🐔💡 Ah, the pinnacle of 2020 engineering: a chicken coop door so advanced, it could fend off a Jurassic Park escapee but will most likely just confuse your chickens. Because who needs human #innovation when you can master the ancient art of overcomplicating poultry security? 🔧🦖

Humans with #Chickens:
Do you have a book or guide to getting started raising chickens that you'd specifically recommend?
We just picked up five pullets and are fairly prepared, but already running into questions and uncertainties!
Looking for personal experience here, something that specifically helped u when you got started.
Thanks!

Couldn't ask for a better day, weather-wise. So we are outside finally doing the first full mow and clean up of the season - thanks to a freed-from-the-mud mower and a new battery for the leaf blower - and will probably get into some #garden games later.
Tonight/tomorrow: roof goes on the #ChickenCoop frame, and we might get the henhouse itself assembled.
If the weather and our energy holds, should be a really good, productive weekend.
-
On the #ChickenCoop: Got everything cut and installed for the roof except the roof itself. Should be doable one evening this week. 🙄
Will probably go ahead and cut wood for the next few steps since the saw is out. Might mean no/little #garden work today...

#ChickenCoop progress report - we have a frame!
This took a bit more out of us than planned but our main goal was to get to this point this weekend: frame assembled, piers dug out, everything fairly square. Success!
(Our dog Winchester supervised the entire operation from the car)
Still have one last round where we'll straighten the foundation blocks 100% but this feels really good.
Now to see what i can get done in the yard and #gardening b/w now and sunset.

What is this weekend of opportunity!?!?! No rain! No wind! Temperate!
The result is no small list of things to work on this weekend bc everything has been perpetually delayed by the weather. We won't get through all of it, but the short version is:
* Make (overdue) progress on our chicken coop by digging for our foundation bricks, setting our walls in place, and possibly working on the roof
* Clear ground for asparagus and strawberry beds; plant the beds
* Site and plant rhubarb, small apple trees
* Build and fill our new garden beds
* Clear the old garden beds, top with fresh soil
* MOW (jeezy creezy)
* Pot up some seedlings, get some more seeds started/planted
Unfortunately everything on this list feels pressing and immediate... but not everything can be done -- and we also have errands and normal shit. We'll just do our best and count our victories (and remember this is supposed to be fun, lol).

SACRILEGE!! Some idiot/eedjit has converted a VW type 2 van into a chicken coop. Oh the humanity! #vw #type2 #chickencoop #yardbird #weirdcarmastodon

Got waylaid over the weekend by other matters, so we're just getting walls framed for the #ChickenCoop project.
Have never built a structure like this before; it's easy to see where some things are off, hard to know, as an amateur, how to make adjustments to get them square (and not do more harm than good).
But got two walls done tonight, and most everything prepped to easily finish the other two tomorrow. As long as that happens, we'll still more or less be on schedule for our three-weekend build.
