Coffee anyone ?

Hey, do any of you have a mudroom type entrance to your house? What size is it and do you like the size?

I wish mine were bigger...



But I store a bunch in there.. I have;
1 full size fridge,

footwear for 7 (not enough for all, I have to rotate summer and winter gear)

Coats for 6 (i store mine in my closet, and we still need more space)

All of the fishing rods, those are on the ceiling.

A bunch of rifles and shotguns,

Snowmachine/ 4-wheeler helmets

2 bows, one compound one long bow

Bunch of feed bags

Bunch of crates with gloves, hats, dog gear, chicken gear, garden gear, etc.

When we added onto the house, a tiny bedroom became the mudporch/entry for the house. Because of that I couldn't change the shape much, but took out the closet and took away one corner that holds an upright freezer for the pantry.

It is 11.6 feet by 10.

But the door into the house is close to one wall, which means we lose a bit of wall storage.

If the mud room has the washing machine etc then it needs to be at least 10x10. Or as an extra place for a fridge or freezer.... but to me an 8x10 is about minimum because I want room to hang coats, boots on mats, a chair or bench to sit on to put the boots/shoes on and off. If a bench, then storage under seat for hats and gloves or stuff like that.... or an open bench with the boot/shoe storage underneath.
No matter the size, you will always find a reason to want it to be bigger....

I want a mudroom/entry here... nothing except straight into the hallway to main house, back door straight into the kitchen... Thinking about closing in half front porch to have front door open into entry type room... but then there are no other wide enough doors for the furniture to go in and out of house if needed.... back door from open deck direct into kitchen ....make deck a big closed in entry/mudroom/extra storage but it is on the opposite side from the drive way so awkward.

Today, some rains. So, went to work in morning, then went to get a CL buy...another incubator set up. While there, saw goats, talked, looked and found two kids I wanted to buy. No prices given me and one was already under consideration by another who recently bought others. Wait and see. But his Boer buck is great, these kids are his and 90%ish boer. Guess I'll be waiting to see if I can spend more money. You never know how innocently things happen! Just hope any pricing is decent.

Rains predicted for some amount of three days this week, so scheduling work. Might as well. Next week looks like better weather -- esp if I've moved the jobs up to be off.

Eggs!! Oh, my! Overabundance. Cooking, sharing, selling...now I'll hatch some! I have some good layers and nice roos to complement them. Might as well. Can raise or sell. Have enough grow out pens. Generally I have several broody hens by this time. If any choose that route, then I'll see to it they'll wake up to chicks one day.

Mud room....yes!! Oh, I'd love to close in my back porch. Don't want solid but a series of sliding door units would work. Expensive. One day.

It's raised, concrete and garage opens to it at one end...rather than into my house. On east of house, open to south at other end. I'd use that end like a green house. It will happen sometime.

Mud room is the old garage under the house. Man door from out side and 8' garage door. All barn coat's and boots and work boots are in there. Both freezers a work bench tote storage and grill. There isn't enough room for a car so it is the mud room it is 20x20. Half bath right inside of house off of mud room

Mud room. I’d like to have room. Only I’d have to call it the sandbox. LOL

That is unfortunate. Maybe you'll have a change of heart tomorrow, especially if you can sell the Brahmas.

I do slightly regret getting the Brahmas, but at the same time I know I would have been kicking myself if I didn't get them, because they sold as rocks, and were the cheapest by far that went through during the hour they went through. I have to say that I think one Rooster will not be sold, but not be staying in the coop. The hens I think will be really nice if they get time to look decent and not be getting bred constantly.
So right now, I am not thrilled with them, but also not completely mad about getting them.
