Son came in last night, then we sat up until after 11. He was hungry so I cooked bacon and eggs. He’s got stuff to do today and I go to the farm.
Yesterday Bennet and Peggy came and we set a H brace, got a roll of wire and stapled one end-all in the rain. A light rain, but soon we were soaking wet. Then the bottom fell out and we looked like drowned rats. We picked up tools and quit. I guess this morning we will continue. It’s just a short span, next to the house, but I’ll be able to run a horse panel on the back side of the house to close off a yard. On the front side, I’ll put a chain link gate and another panel or two and I’ll have a safe place for DD’s dogs when they come visit Labor Day weekend.

In the US they are cochins. The one is Buff, the others are blues. They look like bantams but there is corresponding large fowl Cochins also. The ones in the UK are a little different and there is only the Pekin Bantam... Cochins there are only in large fowl... Kinda complicated. But in the US there are both large fowl and bantam Cochins. Not the greatest of layers but not too terrible, they are "all feathers"... read the standard of Perfection by the American Poultry Assoc or the American Bantam Assoc bantam standard.

Coffee is ready. I worked on sheep pens yesterday, mostly dragging cow panels around to see how I wanted to make the pens. I stood a few up, pounded T-posts, and got it figured out. Today, I’ll get the pens up. I’ve got to drag a 8x8 base frame for a shelter , with the Mule, inside the ewes pen. I’ll just build it there. Y’all have a great day!

I know it is a pain in the rear but the tactic of free appliances for whatever reason could be covering up damage to the house.
Absolutely! When we bought this house the sellers tried to sell us their refrigerator. It was newer than ours, but they wanted a high price for it. We said no and they left it anyway. It turned out they couldn't get it out of the kitchen! They had cut out the old cabinets around it and it ws stuck tight! LOL We removed it when we redid the kitchen.
