Work Around the Farm


Well, we've knocked out another project around the farm. The shed is finally painted, I purchased some $7 shutters (at our local junk store) and they are painted and hanging! We need to fix the light and I am going to be looking for a cute little country weather vein for the top of the roof. Wayne can make one of those little boxes they sit on. We have lilies to plant in front of the shed. We also want to add trim to the doors and we'd love to put on those old black country hinges on to it. Now all the things we need to do to the exterior are just cosmetic.

We also painted the chicken coop yellow. We still need to start building a larger coop and clearing the area behind the small coop. We also need to build a portable house for the broilers so they can graze to grow. Everything takes much longer then I think it will take and there is always something to do on the homestead.

Right now we are building a duck house. Then back to the chickens. Followed by fencing the yard for the dogs & small kids!

Rejoicing in simplicity,
RH
