It's Sunday morning. Juergen took the kids to church. I slept in. Our dog Mickey kept me up half the night. He is very sensitive to storms. He shook and hyper ventilated. I tried to keep him calm. I was afraid he would have a heart attack he was so afraid. It's calm and clear today. I brought my laptop and coffee on to the terrace. It would be perfect if we did not have this steady stream of traffic from the overpass behind the house. I guess that's why the property was cheap. It is not ideal, but I'm OK with it. I would much rather have this garden with the traffic then no garden and quite. I understand that they plan on building a road that would divert most of this traffic. It will probably happen in the next ten years. Eventually it will be better. I may not live to see it built, but someone will appreciate the quite. Yesterday we did allot of work in the yard. I mowed the grass. We built 2 more raised beds, and planted them. I think we will put a straw plaster on the outside of the high raised garden beds. We may even mosaic the beds. It will take awhile to do this work. Eventually they will also be made into art.
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.
