I have a party planned for December 24th (Christmas Eve) but I'm still not
sure anyone is coming. I'm not really sure what to do about that. I
may end up canceling the party? And we had planned to go to Juergen's
dads house on December 25th. But now Richard is feeling stressed about
having us there (all 7 of us). I have to admit I was so surprised he
agreed to our coming. So it's no surprise to me he is having 2nd thoughts
about the plan. We are now thinking about going the first week in January
when the kids are in camp. Then it will be 4 of us instead of 7.
But if that is still too stressful, Juergen will go by himself. The kids
were looking forwards to seeing their Opa, but we want to bless him. If
it's too stressful for him, we will do what ever he wants. He is getting
very old. And it's easy for us to adjust. Today the kids had their
last day of school. The vacation is 2 weeks long. Juergen also has
2 weeks off. As long as we can sleep in, and enjoy each others company I
can be flexible about the other stuff. God can surprise me with the details.
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.
