Finally got pics of the caved in coop cover. It finally collapsed last night with the snow we got. Not sure how many inches we got, but at least 4", maybe 5".
I just took some wire cutters and cut the wire I used to sew it onto the chain link panels to secure it. It was just easier. Now its laying on the ground until we get the big meltdown this weekend.
We have been closing early at work due to the weather so when I saw it was caved in this morning, this got taken care of when I got home.
One of the panels is bent now because of the weight, but maybe I can bend it straighter when it gets warmer.
The shade clothe I had put over half of the run area wasnt letting the snow and ice thru. Didnt think about that when I put it over the wire. Of course, we dont usually get this kind of weather here. Mostly its cold, damp, and rainy.
When I left for work this morning, didnt have any trouble on my road. Once I got to work, that was another story. With the snow we got here, it made it a little harder getting into the parking lot. I didnt make it.
Then the OM came just a few minutes later and attempted getting in at the other entrance. She didnt make it either. So we were both blocking the entrances.
We came in and got the snow shovel and tried that at first. Nope.
Finally, a very nice man with 4 wheel drive truck came by and with his help, we got our cars unstuck and parked where we could get out later.
So, its been a FUN day.
