I'm tearin' myself up, building the other half of my chicken coop. It's dang near ten feet tall, on the side by my bedroom.
It's going to look great.
Except for the plastic dropcloths to waterproof it and the chicken wire, the rest of the construction materials is all garbage I've found. Particularly, old wire from the KUNM remodelling, demolition on a house remodel, salvaged seconds from a lumber yard and old pallets.
I've even salvaged door-sized screens and hardware.
It'll be a big, comfortable space for multiple animals of various species.
I'll make nesting boxes of old, wooden fruit crates.
Soon, people will be raking leaves and bagging them for the garbage. I'll collect as many as I can to insulate the floors and boxes of the coop, to compost and to mulch my soon-to-be garden.
Now, I'm resting.
I'll either finish tonight or tomorrow...
