I have sleep apnea too and have not been able to sleep with my machine. My mask goes over my nose only, so since I can hardly breathe through my nose need a different style. My father and I are both going for a new sleep study next Wednesday night. Woohoo.
You "might" want to post your plans and photos in the Coop section as a new topic "CapricornFarm's coop build".
I sorta locked myself in once, but after some jiggling and banging on the door it finally opened. It's one of those hasps that has a rotating loop thing. I now make sure I put the...
I feel your pain. I always have a few that thin the grass is greener on the other side.
OK, I was confused. I kept wondering why you referred to it as a shed. Duh! :he
I asked about the auto pop door closer on another thread. I kept wondering why it was such a wanted item. Now I understand. I had been leaving the pop door open and just shutting coop and pen exterior doors at night. Now I have to go out and close it. If I'm late I have to do it in the dark when...
Looking great Jim -- I really like those metal roofs. Are those smaller rectangular areas above the windows for vents?
It sounds as though the pup is healing nicely and on the mend. I don't recall if the pups were born to another dog you own or if you bought them, but wondering if you plan to...
I am backwards..... can't help it I was born that way too. lol Whenever I get the urge to cut my hair short it's nearly winter. I think now I will just keep it short.
That looks really nice. I don't know anything about silkies, but if they don't roost I would think you might want a platform to get them off the ground a little. It snows where you live? Just thinking they might be colder on the ground than up a smidge.
Sorry about your pups. What kind are...
Is the coop large enough that they can stay in it for a least a couple of days? That will ensure that they know that's home and should return there to nest. I would suggest closing the other coop for now.
I wonder if you could use those heavy plastic tent stakes -- just put them deep in the ground. Eventually the dirt will compact and grass will grow over the area.
When I was little, a farmer down the road from my grandpa had this big white billy goat that had a real long beard. I always liked that goat. Have no idea what kind it was.
I would love to have goats, but only if they could free range. There are far too many things to climb on out to have them...
I had to take my truck to the dealer in a nearby town yesterday (recall) and I planned to go to the Habitat Re-Store there. I ended up poking around Hobby Lobby and forgot all about it. :he
The one I got says it does up to 3" branches. Wish it would do bigger stuff, but I'm sure that would be...
I found out what it is, Bush Honeysuckle. Now that I see that, yes, the one just behind the house did have honeysuckle flowers, but I forgot about that.

They are calling it a noxious invasive weed. Lol, it is far better...
Can't wait to see that coop when you get finished with it.
I had a mulching kit added to my mower so that I could better chop up all the small branches and stuff, but I found that it's do near as good a job when the grass/weeds started to get tall, and real bad if it was damp. I had to have it...
I hear you on trying to grow grass. I had some basement anchors put in last winter and there are still some grassless areas around the house. Actually, I shouldn't really call it grass -- it's mostly a mix of grass, weeds, clover, etc.
Thank you for that Tigger! I have been wondering what these...
