Cold is on the Right, Hot is on The Left
I am so excited to see all the journals that are being posted! I am really enjoying getting to know all of my friends!
I am trying to wait until the end of each day to post in mine, but I thought until this evening, for now I will post some pictures from around our place. As things change, I will post new pics showing how we have progressed.
Now, remember, everything is a work in progress, and right now our yard is a mess and looks just awful!
This is a view of where we live from the road. I was standing at the bottom of our driveway when I took this picture.
This is coming up the driveway, our empty field to the right.
I really want to plant some fruit trees and wildflowers in that field!
This is at the top of our driveway, but still on the right, and if I had turned completely around, I would have been facing the direction of our trailer. This is part of our winter wood supply.
All that wood you saw in the last picture, is stacked right behind this barn. My husband built this from start to finish, no pre-fab kit, etc. He built it from the ground up. Don't mind the trim, we had painted several colors on it to determine which color we wanted the trim to be. We decided to go with the tan, just haven't finished it yet.
Now I don't have pics of the actual back yard, but I will take a few here in a bit so you can get an idea of the layout, but both my coops are kind of off to the right of the back yard.
This one is the first coop we ever built. Until this year, it was completely built out of recycled materials...even the OSB board was recycled. Just this month, we replaced the roof and inside this coop is where my husband built that little brooder.
Next project for this one is to replace the old OSB with new and paint it.
This is the coop we built this year, and my parents paid for it in exchange for us housing my mom's chickens over the summer months. (Long story, not important. Will tell only if you really want to know!)
The story behind the kids playhouse and doghouse there is we had some younger chicks out there during the summer months and we used those as temporary shelters in a grow out coop for the chicks. I just haven't got around to moving those out of there yet, even though we did already take out the fencing.
I will post more pictures later, but this just gives you an idea.
