Despite the crazy weather we have been able to get quite a bit accomplished; one of Jake's big projects being the chicken coop. He started it over a week ago and due to the --weather-- is just now getting close to finishing it. I think it is looking pretty cool, hopefully the turkeys and guinea hens love it too!!
The very beginning
Getting the frame up
The back and bottom sides up, and the door is built (I built the door :) )
Getting close to completion, chicken wire is on the door and upper sides to allow for vents...Jake just needs to finish the front and floor!
In addition to coop building we have been up to ...more planting, yeah!!! Cabbage, tomatoes, onions, and trees. When we planted trees on Sunday in the 'other' garden (the 14 acre fully fenced garden/orchard across the creek) we were able to bring Happy and Eli with us since they could run around and we didn't have to worry about them running off. It was cool to bring them with us and let them tire themselves out!! Too bad they don't listen very good or we could bring them with us everyday...just too many exciting sights and smells to worry about listening to us...
We also finished up the drip irrigation system for the new high tunnel over the weekend. Jake did lots of gluing of PVC pipe and I did lots of cutting of PVC pipe and drilling holes into it... there are a few leaks that need to be fixed but it's almost totally done now!! The water will be pumped in from the creek and we will be able to turn it on and off with a switch- so much better than spending over an hour each day hand watering the tunnel!!
