My Little Hoop Coop

[Baymule]

Day 1. Sunshine. Still mud and slop, but sunshine. Got to go rob cow panels from sheep pens. Then replace with a length of sheep and goat wire. Have to move sheep.

Still no dirt.

Working in slop makes a job so much more fun...

I’ve been outside destroying previous efforts. Going rather well if I do say so myself. I came in to blow my nose, cool to cold wind drags drippy snot out of my head like a gold miner striking the mother lode. When I can no longer snuff it back up in my head and my throat is dry from breathing through my mouth, I come in, blow my nose and get a drink of water.

1. Stretch of pen wall

This was put together with whatever I had on hand, including 2 clamps courtesy of @Ridgetop’s DH. He gave me 2 bags of these lovely marvelous things. I keep a weather wrench permanently loaded with a 5/8” socket just so I don’t have to go hunt one up. Why I used only 2 of these is beyond me. Just try to explain my thought process, he// I can’t.

2. Dragging panels over the driveway fence.

3. My efforts have rewarded me with 1 cow panel. 2 hog panels, 1/2 of a hog panel,

4. I took down the gate, a piece of horse panel that has been a pain in the north bound backside of a southbound Baymule.

5. Assorted fasteners and the motley assortment of tools required to remove them.

6. All clear now. With DEstruction , next comes REstruction. I measured the span, its 31 feet. Measure 31, cut 32 because I have an extraordinary ability to screw things up.

Break is over, I can breathe now.

I'm doing site work today, don't have the panels or lumber yet, waiting on a "ride".

Overview of area (Wednesday evening)

Friday morning, temperature about 70°, slight breeze, ready to GO!

Wood and debris pile is just beyond the piece of tin, close to the white pot.

Raked the area, a Gorilla cart full!

I dumped the leaves in the coop, happy chickens!

I removed the piece of tin roofing material, found some lovely dirt and rotting wood full of insects like earwigs.

Big sticks, vines are headed for the burn pile.

Chickens got a rotted log and some of the dirt, lots of insects, yum!

Wood and leaf pile was here. I moved the debris so I could move the coop site two feet closer to the fence. There's going to be eight feet between the coops, and eight feet between the second coop site and the back fence.

Now I just need the cattle panels and the lumber.

I laughed at your comments, not your progress.
