I took a walk with our friends and Sarah. We got caught in a down poor but found a place to wait out the rain. Juergen spent hours teaching Thomas how to program computers. Nicole painted. And Jessica is feeling better. Philip read his book. It's his 4th novel in a series. He is already asking for the 5th book. And I'm so proud he is finally reading. I also shopped with Philip and Sarah. An Italian food store is a dangerous place for me to be. I love their fresh and good ingredients. I could fill our entire car with enough food for the rest of the year. But we don't have that kind of space. So We need to finish the food I've already bought. Juergen and I both can not get enough of the good olive oil, fresh basil, tomatoes and fresh cheese. Oh, the lemons, the peaches, and the beans!!!! It is a good food paradise. And I bought the kids a hot wheel track that has a car that runs on batteries. My brother had a set like that when he was little. I admit hot wheels is a little young for my kids, but it's raining outside. It's a good way to pass a lazy afternoon. So is playing guitars and sleeping.
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.
