Reading about building stuff

20 Apr 20226 Mar 2011 by Mike (tfb)
Barns, Sheds & Outbuildings book

A great chance find at the library, lying there on top of a returned-book cart. This isn’t a book review or recommendation, although Barns, Sheds & Outbuildings is a cool browsing volume, full of clear explanations, instructions, and photos. What … Read the rest

Extending the chickenhouse

27 Jun 200921 Jun 2009 by Mike (tfb)

First day of summer, and the day before the arrival of 25 20-week-old, ready-to-lay Shaver Red Sex Link CHICKENS. Clearly, time to begin building out their new home. It shouldn’t take too long! :) Working on and off through the … Read the rest

2022 right now...

Late June: Fresh veggies have arrived. Lots of different greens are ready to go. Snap peas, green onions and beets starting to size up. LOTS of rain and fairly cool weather for the last couple of weeks. The grass and other plants around the garden perimeter grew so fast, it overwhelmed the electric fence keeping the deer out.
