Doesn’t Look Like Much But Stick Around Until The End

Doesn’t look like much.  However great things often begin with a patch of bare dirt and two  pieces of wood. Day 1. 

Digging holes always a good sign. Means business is getting done. Four holes were dug.  The constitution crew consists of Jessica and Nash.

Jessica and I have been friends for 22 of her 24 years. Her family and I became friends when they answered an ad I placed to sell some Nubians. Nash will become family on November 8th. When he and Jess tie the knot. She is the youngest of three sisters.

Well mercy be! Do I see the beginning of  two walls?  And is that a floor I spy in place??

Moving right along all walls and the roof in place . Inside Jess is putting  in  the railing to keep the eggs from rolling out of the laying boxes. 

Wow window trim and access to the egg boxes from the outside. Windows are covered with hardware cloth for extra safety from predators. '

The temporary coop run is the old 10X10 foot dog kennel they had in an empty stall of the "mare" motel. May make it permanent by adding another four panels and roof. Or may go with 5 foot no climb and roof. At any rate the permanent fencing won't be in until after the wedding.
