I was painting the unprotected wood before the freezing weather came on Sunday and I wouldn't be able to. One coat of primer done. If the sun shines this weekend, I'll paint it green like the other end wall. Green - for a greenhouse.
Larry is trying to hold the wood still, while connecting it to the frame, all while we are battling severe afternoon winds and just trying to get this stuff all together before the wind blows us over.We had one solid work day this weekend, as we got snowed on Saturday night, followed by below-freezing weather. That does not constitute an outdoor work day. So this weekend, if the sun is shining, we'll put up the last section of this end wall, get the hip boards up and maybe start putting together the hard ware for the roll up sides. I can DREAM a big dream, can't I?? We are getting there. In the meantime, birds are all in the barn. We'll see if we can get them to the greenhouse before spring!!

Girl,I hope you got the snowstorm and hunkered down and rested a little bit!!!
You are making me scared of having animals. SO much work to do for not-so-very-handy people! (Us, not you,. obviously!)
Well, you have to do it in the right order. Get the proper shelter for your animals, THEN buy the animals. And for backyard farming, you can BUY little hen houses and things, you don't have to build everything from scratch like we do. But we have a habit of buying the animals and THEN thinking about where to put them when they grow up... good thing we have the barn as back up, or we'd have chicken-cicles by now....
There is a big difference between having a few chickens in your backyard and 200 chickens over winter.
Once everything works its not much trouble, I spend about 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night dealing with the barn chores.
