I showed one of the house sitters around. They will try to keep my plants and fish alive for us while we travel. I had a number of last minute things to take care of including a hair cut. Juergen just took Mickey to the dog hotel. We take him to the same wonderful dog trainer every time we travel. He will be fine with them, no worries. The kids have youth group tonight. Then it' straight to bed. We will try to go very early (Like 4am)to avoid the heavy traffic. The weather is not going to be so good in Italy. In fact, it's expected to be much warmer in Germany over the next 2 weeks. Oh well! But the trip is still a change of pace, a new perspective. I needed that. I should have internet there. I'll blog if I can.
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.
