I can hear the workers outside digging up my front garden. They are replacing all the water pipes on our street (that is good). But we had to move one of our giant roses, and July is no time to move roses. It is a mess. But I'm not looking, I'm letting it go. I'm sure in a year or two we can get it looking good again.
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.

I worked so hard to get our garden in shape, and because I've injured my neck, shoulder, elbow and wrists. Today they told me it could be 6 months or longer before I'm completely healed.
Which means our garden is going to fall apart.
Sad but at the same time I'm thankful that I can heal.
I have to take a different approach to gardening.
