Looks good G!TanksHill said:
Maybe paint it black for better heat retention?We use a sheep trough for our brooding, but (as I said on my journal
) I think from now on the hens can do the brooding so we are going to turn it into an outdoor summer bathtub 
Put up a privacy screen, light bug repelling natural candles fill with water and :bun Or, i'll plant potatoes in it and for extra mulch use a body I don't care for Either way, it'll be fun! (I get this idea of an outdoor tub from MaryJane magazine so

*sigh* yeah, i'm thinking we will end up planting it with potatoes or something. But, that should make an awesome coldframe right?TanksHill said:I have an outdoor tub!!! My girls plant it with flowers every year.

Always doing laundry
That should be good...put the lamp on one end and the food/water on the other. I would put something on that front lip to keep the shavings in or they will definitely make a mess.

Monday!!!
Thanks Lori. Yes that front section was drawn/designed a bit different. :/ I had originally drawn a solid piece of plywood with a long narrow oval window. I was thinking plexiglass or wire. I told dh the minute I saw it the savings would fall out. He has offered to fix it. I think I will just cut some plywood and cover the bottom 3 inches.
So, I went out this morning to let out the birds. Turkey #1 is still sitting her clutch. She is going to be a great momma, I hope some hatch for her.
turkey # 2 was off the nest and free ranging. She had been replaced by a very old Rhode Island Red.
Who know maybe those poults will be co parented.
Dh started with the new company this morning. We will see how that goes.
Taking ds to doc this morning. I can tell he's on the mend but I told dh I would take him. His head still hurts and he is very tired. I give up. Let the Dr. try and figure it out.
I guess I need to power clean this week so I can have some kind of party next week. DD will be 8 on Sunday and I imagine I will need to have the in laws over. Not my idea of fun.
So if I am not around and you wonder about me. I am probably in cleaning the house mode.
Well, got to get moving.
