The big tent

It took a few hours, but the tent is now up. And I think I will turn it into a green house after next weeks party. I found out you can make it shorter and thinner. So instead of having a greenhouse that's 5 meters wide, and 8 meters long, we can have it 4 x6 meters. That's perfect. I will need to buy the wood to frame in the end walls, cement for the foundation, and green house plastic. But the whole thing will be so much cheaper then the high tunnel we where looking at. Juergen has even said we could maybe weld the metal together to make the frame solid. Awesome! We get soil on Monday for the greenhouse area. And Tuesday the mulch comes. So the ground will be ready for the greenhouse. The garden is almost ready for the party. The kids go back to school on Monday. I should be able to clean the house for the party. And they hired caterers to do the rest. So I hope it will be stress less. I'm very glad to get a clean garden and house!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
