I've got some sheet metal that I can use for the roof, and I've already got an extra bucket with the nipples installed, and some PVC and gutter material laying around. All I'd probably need would be some wire - and I have a little of that already! This looks like my next project. :D

Coolness! You could finish one up for less than $20 probably!! That's awesome!

I want to make about 5 more when we get our income tax refund, but I want to make two of them with nest boxes attached all the way down one side for my layers. The others would be strictly for meat birds. I have one tractor already, but it's a tank. DH built it a bit too heavy to be easily moved. The wheels need some adjustments too. We'll likely have $125 in each one by the time we finish completely.

LOL - DH fell of a ladder the last time he climbed one and it made my life so much harder or about 6 months - and my DS, 6'2" and about 240 is deathly afraid of spiders! So, maybe I'll go buy some!

Gotta go find me a bite of summpin....

Later!

DH got a pup for his birthday :lol: Her name is Chilli(Pepper). She's a black and white bully breed baby. Still got that wonderful puppy breath and little needle teeth :love I made her a nice dinner and she loved it. Venison and rice, with a smidge of garlic. She is just weaned, and the runt of the litter. Adorable!! And spoiled rotten already..

We got the tractor finished today, and put the spare roo and Legbar hen in it. They seem to like it, and the guineas paced around and around it, jealous of the digs :lol:

I got cussed out by all my flock of Dels today. I had the AUDACITY to put cardboard and hay in their nest boxes so they'll quit breaking their eggs...imagine that. They cussed me for two solid hours *smh*

I planted 21 strawberry plants, and two more flats of green onions this morning. I'm working on cleaning out the greenhouse from last year. Somehow it got messy :p

That's about it for the day. Not much else gone on. I'm tired, it was gorgeous outside and I spent the entire day out there in the greenhouse and working in the yard.
