I saw a light go on in Sarah’s eyes tonight. She was jealous because Philip is going to
buy a new cell phone tomorrow. He has
saved up the money for the phone, and the contract. He is very excited! She was very sour! But I told her it is her choice how she
spends her money. She has the money for
a new phone too (right now she has a basic pre-paid cell phone, not a smart
phone). She wants to go to China and she
is saving for the ticket. That did not
help her. Then I said she isn’t taking
dance or horseback riding, instead she plays soccer 3 times per week. She does not have the time to do it all, she
chooses soccer instead of dance. And
then somehow we started to talk about studying at the University. And that she could study sports medicine one
day, or learn to be a soccer coach. A
light went off, I saw it. She saw her
future, and it included 10 years of studying at the University. And then a new cell phone didn’t seem so
important.
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.
