Chicken Coop Work

7/8/2013

Yes...I know...Katherine and I did a lot of this back in March. (It was March, right? If not, it was April.)

However, due to circumstances, it became necessary to dismantle the A-frame coop. The fellas helped with that. Then we started working on the construction of the new "nesting box coop". We didn't get finished, but we did get the frame constructed. I really did most of the work, but that's okay because I'm the 'forewoman'...and besides that, I know what I'm after, having planned the thing.

I rode Snip this morning, then a short trot down the drive to check the mail after lunch, and then before supper (both equine and human), I took Philip for a short ride. The reason for all this riding...Snip is getting a new sort of training. We'll call it 'boredom' training. On top of the riding, I'm leaving Snip tied up all day (making sure he gets some water occasionally). It's a different kind of discipline...and it sure isn't his favorite. He has the base of the tree I'm tying him to all pawed up....

Relaxing for a minute...and laughing about who knows what.

My helpers...gotta love Joel's crazy curls poking out from under his cap!

This time around I'm just using nails to hold it together...I think it'll be fine once every thing is connected. I can always put some diagonal cross braces in if it doesn't. :)
Picture
I'd sent Joel off for another nail--I didn't have enough. He came back with one that was too short so I sent him back off again.

Look how long Philip's legs are!! :D
At this point, unless something else comes up, I'm figuring on finishing up the coop tomorrow...so...until then, I'm off to scratch my misquito bites! :D

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
