Zee Coop!

Here is David about a week ago setting one of the first of Cindy's windows into the wall. They didn't come with frames, so he spent a day or so framing them out. They will have hinges so they can open and eventually screens so that little Chickie's can have some ventilation -








The girls are working to show David what it will be like with the coop is all full of chickens! This is a fun project!











Here everyone is with "the star" and showing the large window in a side wall. YES - it is fully erected in the Garage. YES - it will come out. David hasn't really nailed the walls to the deck firmly. There are a number of "strategically placed" ropes to secure it all in place for now. This, naturally, ensures a good fit. This Sunday Scott & Cindy are coming to help us locate the deck (in the back yard - thanks for all your votes folks!) Then the walls will be permanently attached and the roof put on..



One of the best parts of it all - is the time spent with the kids. Here is Ingrid helping David to put the framed window into the wall to ensure a GOOD FIT! Doing fun things with the kids, learning new skills and practicing creativity that will last a lifetime. The chickens are just an added bonus!!
