The sun is shinning and I'm feeling very good. We are getting allot done today. Nicole, Jessica and I went to buy 3 goldfish to live in our small pond. The pond was getting mosquitoes in it. The fish will eat those right up! I didn't want to use any poison. I don't want to kill what is good, just control what's bad. I also bought sawdust to put on the potato beds. I'm hoping that will help block the light. We don't want green potatoes. I watered all the house plants. They should be fine for 2 weeks. I am also cleaning the kitchen, living room and hall today. Tomorrow I'll only need to clean bathrooms. Nearly everything is now packed. I just need to finish my cloths & Jessica's cloths. God willing I can relax a little before we go. It always seems like I need a vacation just from getting ready for a vacation. Packing for 7 is never easy. But the kids are getting better at helping. I am more or less just quality control. My vacation book has not come in the post. I also ordered the complete collection of fawlty towers on DVD. That has not come either. So I hope the mail comes soon. Vacations are for laughing and learning.
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.
