It is just two days until we celebrate Christmas. Juergen came to me asking what he should get
me for a gift. I know if I said surprise
me I would be getting another house plant and candles. Gift giving has never been a strength of
Juergens. On the other hand he is a very
generous person. And to be fair, it is
VERY hard to find a gift for someone who already has everything. And I can hardly think of anything for myself
or him.
I have so much. But I ask for
unusual things like compost for my garden, car seat covers, and a new
lawnmower. And he wants a new juicer to
make orange juice on Christmas morning.
He actually wants new speakers for his electric guitar, but I would not
dare to buy them. I’ll just give him the
money. That is something he needs to get
for himself. The best thing Juergen
gives me is his time. I am giving him a
book, and he has to read it to me. We do
this every year. It is a great
tradition. I highly recommend it.
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.
