Super Self-Sufficient
got a chicken roasting in the toaster oven and the hosue smells DIVINE!
i stuffed him with garlic salt pepper and 1 lime quartered, then covered him in salt garlic and lemon pepper seasoning and hes in the toaster oven on convection...
im hoping to get tonights dinner, enough chicken and dumplings for at least 4 dinners, and enough chicken brest for 2 containers full of chicken salad (one for the fridge and one for the freezer)
smells soooo good!
i did get some stuff in the second half of the shed moved, ive got 2 usable window panes that can eventually go into making a cold frame.
2 windows missing their glass, and 2 doors also missing thier glass.
a bunch of rotten wood and trash got taken out...
theres still 2 interior doors and a toilet in there that need to be pulled out...
I want to use the toilet somehow but im not entirely sure how...im thinking of turning it into a planter/seat. i figue if i use some window screen over the back pipe hole, fill it with good compost and plant the seat area with creeping thyme, then plant tank with pretty flowers it would look hilariously cute...
and i think theres another toilet back in the woods so if i could find that and pull it out, plant it up the same way and put a cute little table between them off the back deck it would be a such a fun little seating area.
(and would smell like lemons everytime it was sat on
)
the interior doors are salvagable (frams mabe not so much) and the dors with the glass missing are also salvagable, frames Definatly not though.
im thinking i might use those doors when i build the chicken coop. replace the glass in them which shouldnt be too expensive to do and i think theyll look nice with a good stripping and a fresh coat of paint.
it saddens me to go in there...and im sitll wondering if theres ANY way to salvage them...the fronts are fairly stable (if not a little bowed) and the side walls arnt bad either other than the one i already took down, but the floor isjust shot and the back walls have collapsed taking the roof down with them. im wondering if i can somehow replace the floor (cut out the rotten and put in some kind of joists using joist hangers) on any good wood i can find...remove the roof and the back wall completly and then replace that...if i could salvage it it would 1: mean im closer to having my chicekn coop ready and 2: itll cost less to finnish it...
so i think im going to continue working on getting as much junk out of there as possible and see what dad thinks when he gets here...its not as unstable as i thought it would be given the condition its in, but i just dont have a sturctural eye to know if its possible to salvage it...
anywho...did i mention the house smells yummy!

Just one more option if you can't decide what to pot in them
