Since my run is about 25 feet from the house, I'm gonna use my mini rototiller and just dig a couple inches deep to run a hose and electrical through some PVC pipe. Nothing serious and can be ripped up any time. --BB

The last movie I went to was Jurassic Park III. I love my Dinosaurs. --BB

I've only worked on small electric motors (small box fans and record-changer motors). Some parts need to be clean and dry as a whistle, while the end parts that house the bearings need to have some type of lithium grease, 3-in-1 oil etc. Sometimes the issue could be what's also connected...

It's not a bedding, it's something that you spread around the coop and/or run to keep the odor under control. It is used commonly in horse stalls. --BB

I had a problem with a few dead exterior electrical outlets around the house and one in the garage when I wanted to use my electric hedge trimmers and chain saw. My neighbor across the street (who has the same cookie cutter house as mine) came over and told me that the garage outlet was chained...

I get thoroughly pissed off, stomp into the house, make me a Brandy & Coke, and turn on HGTV or Food Network, then lay on the couch steaming about what I did wrong, running it through my brain over and over again. So much for a good night's sleep. Always having good intentions of getting the...

If you can build something of high quality, and not price gouge folks, then your hobby should flourish. It just bothers me when the "middle-man" has to pad on his price to make a profit. I'm up at all times during the night, watching info-mercials and reading this board (yes, you folks are...

If you wanna see a disaster, come look at my back yard. It may look pretty in the picture, but the weeds are about 3-feet high and TWO 6-feet trees have sprouted in my back yard from the damn Mesquite tree next door. Now I have to get out the chain saw, hedge trimmers, and recently bought a...

Wow, are they very intricate to build? It's neat when you can keep your hands busy. It keeps the mind sharp. I like working on a smaller scale with electronics and repairing these old beasts. My run is actually done, just needs to be screened in (top, sides and outside perimeter) with the...

Crap...I've been laying around the house for the last six months on the couch since I retired in March. No motivation, no energy, haven't touched the bed yet, just completely drained. It seems like I'm going through some type of "phase" right now, and not enjoying it. I had a lot of stress...

You've also done good, Jeria, and there's still hope for this world. Someone mentioned about young boys sitting around playing video games all day, and it just tripped my trigger. I should have kept my mouth shut and let it slide, but that didn't happen. Anything I've said here wasn't...

I read years back when people were sick of these all-reigning HOA's establishing their own rules when the City/County allowed differently. I hope some of these residents shut down some of the s**t that the HOA's put on folks. I pay over $1,000/month for my house payment, and will be damned what...

You brought them up good, and they have a strong work ethic. It's just that some of these young folks are clueless, and I blame their stupid A$$ young parents for instilling that mentality in them. They treat them more as "friends" than truly parenting them. They say the fruit doesn't fall too...

No, I don't have any kids, never did. It just bites my butt how some of these kids take advantage of parents. I worked at a University for 14 years dealing with these kids in a disciplinary setting and worked 25 years at a County Prosecutor's agency dealing with more knuckleheads. I know...

The work ethic of these young folks is disappointing. Most of them are adults still living in their childhood bedroom or parent's basement. Self-serving, arrogant, know-it-all, disrespectful and irresponsible idiots. Video games are not cheap, and if they lived on their own, they wouldn't be...

I think building stuff from scratch is more rewarding than going to the store. Just using your own creativeness can yield marvelous results. You learn as you go, making improvements along the way. Heck, I built this run completely from scratch, using a pencil and pad, and it's holding steady...

Thank you, CapricornFarm... I don't consider my self rebellious...I just like stuff being thrown at me and make something. Kinda reminds me of woodshop back in the 60's. Use your imagination, working from the ground up, and see what works best for you. You don't need some plans that you've...

WOW!!! you folks are really on the ball. It's amazing how we design for different regions of the country. Chickens are hearty creatures, and just survive about everywhere. Just amazing critters. I live in an HOA, so gotta keep things low. My enclosure is four 8x8 squares, and reserved a...
