I just got my laugh for the day! I love hearing about the marker incident! Sounds just like my kids! Loved hearing about the trashy look to get rid of potential neighbors too! 
Hoping your parents can get the property.

Making some headway on the poultry pens and barn clean-out. Took in another scrap metal load and now just need to get rid of the extra doors and windows. I may set them out and see if someone wants them before I bust out the glass and put them into the trash.
Got the main part emptied, swept the walls down, and raked the floor so it is more level. Then we dug in cinder blocks for a base/barrier from varmints digging in or birds digging out. Got one wall up and had to call it a night after we suffered two "casualties". The first was my favorite work jeans that have been a wreck for awhile, especially since I snagged them tearing the shingles off of the other barn...DH thinks I should keep them. I think he isn't allowed to take pictures since every single one HE took today I had to delete since they were all of the back of my jeans Then DH gashed his finger trying to get some hinges off of an old door to use for this project.
Gloves, babe....ya know...gloves...you wear 'um so you don't, say, smash your hand (says the smarty pants who has messed up her hands more times that she has fingers to count)
We picked up 19 broiler chicks today and they are in the brooder. As we ate dinner, we got to discussing the whole cleaning process and talking about the plucking machine that the woman who we bought the chicks from had and wondering how it worked. Julia got so serious and explained to us it, "spins brushes around and on the top and there are eyes that tell it to go back and down, then it blows them dry"...and she carried on while we tried so hard not to laugh because she was talking about the car wash we had gone through a few days ago. When she finally finished her lecture on how a chicken plucker works, her brothers just lost it and started laughing hysterically. So she rolled her eyes at us, got down and said she was going to go take a bath, in a tone that was WAY older than her three years! Oh that girl is so funny and so sassy at the same time.

Your killin' me with the windows!!!! break the glass... 
You guys sure work fast, must be a good team!
Our first broilers are going to be slaughtered soon, looking around to rent a plucker.
Seriously- for some reason we all thought 10 weeks, "no problem, we'll get the plucker done by then".... we didn't. NOT GOOD
Love the building, can't wait to see it finished.
Beautiful property.

@autumnprairie We almost decided to call it quits after two boys and then she came along. Sassy aside, she is a bowl of sunshine almost everyday. My boys are awesome and make me laugh so much. But Julia is just...the best way I can think to describe it is like having a kitten sleeping in your lap. Makes me smile with contentment, ya know.
@SbC LOL! I wish I could ship then to you. We talked about using them as pen walls but didn't think it would be too practical. Maybe I'll see if DH wants to run a strip of windows all along the back of the building though so we don't let them all go to waste. Would let some natural light into the building too.

Just checking in to let you all know I didn't die...kind of feel half dead after this week. Starting up the school year is always tough but this year I am teaching a college class too and it is kicking my can. On top of that, I sent my middle son off for his first day of kindergarten 
which just made the hard week even harder. Watching his older brother walk him, holding his hand, to their elementary from my high school just did me in. Good thing I had a few minutes to gather myself before the teens hit my room for class.
Making a little progress with the chicken pens and our baby broilers are growing fast so we will probably finish it up this weekend.
Getting excited for Herdstock. Haven't done anything fun like that in a long time...actually never done ANYTHING like that but you know what I mean
