We finally got the shop more or less organized at least to the point that we can use it. We still have some minor rearranging to do (especially with dust collection) but it's all coming together.

We want to get 4 or 5 chickens here soon but we don't want to build a permanent coop yet so we put together an A-frame coop that is sort of portable (but not light weight) but should be fairly secure with hardware cloth all the way around the bottom. The panels for the two doors and the end and center pieces are on the table waiting on transparent

stain to be applied to everything tomorrow. I wanted to get a picture before the last couple of pieces got connected.

It's attached with several hundred 3/4" staples on the inner 2xs and then covered with the outside board. The outside board is more cosmetic than anything else.

Well, Joyce and I don't have that arrangment, but we do have one on a coming to an agreement on things after each has their Say. We never argue, fuss, and fight and one's "Feelings" isn't on their "Shoulders" either. Neither of us like "Drama". :)
