Chicken lights


This weekend daddy dave wired up the chicken coop, next I'll put in a couple outlets so that this year I can put water warmers in the buckets. Hopefully no freezing water feeders 



Here you can see the light switch on the exterior ( black), I know it's not code but I'll need to go by the home improvement store later to get one that's rated for exterior.  I also installed the plexiglass over the chickens window to cut down on a cross breeze.

Trim


 
We've been working on closing up the windows on the exterior , getting ready to put a coat of color on the house. Daddy dave is not so excited about working up on the ladder, but it has to get done.

Chicken attic........


With all this rain daddy Dave has not been able to do much grass cutting, so he has been working around the house



Here he built a small access point to the space located above the chicken coop, the chicken attic



I have the feeling the girls may take over this spot



It was tricky to work between all the rain storms

Uncovered......


While working on the property we often uncover lost items, here while cleaning out the garage area I uncovered a 50 inch chainsaw bar, that may come in useful if it fits my brand saw.


Here one of the farm cats naps beside an Alpaca skull? I believe 


Blue is inspecting the progress

Where did it go?.......




Daddy dave needed to relocate the old well structure, but how did he do it if he was just a lone man and with no super human strength?


With a tractor of course, just parked the tractor under and attached 2x6's to the frame and lifted the implements 


And drove it to its new home


Here is my lovely girls hanging out on daddy daves tractor😍, they make it look so easy.

Big dreams


I haven't blogged in a while been super busy/lazy but with a new app on my phone and many projects done (and to come) I figured I would start blogging again here is a picture of our new homestead much has been done since this picture but I thought I would start with a beginning picture, and jump in from there. I enjoyed looking back at past blogs and enjoy kind of documenting timeline on life.
