I needed to make a couple chicken doors in the side of the coop today.
It takes me a while to get the body moving in the morning so I started by cutting some rebar for another panel. I set up the panel to weld and then moved to the chicken door project.
I’m building two doors so I can let the chickens into two different pens if I want to. I moved the fence out of the way as it goes between the two doors and would make it harder to work. The panels are easy to move, just cut a couple wires and move it a bit.
Here’s the two doors cut out.
Only chicken doors
I didn’t make very neat cuts but it’s only chicken doors. I just cut out the two by fours.
I cut and screwed in the inside supports for the doors.
Good to go
Here’s the finished doors with the pen divider put back in place.
Wiring panels
After a good break I cut some more wire for panels and put some of the wire on, but was getting tired out later in the day, so was slowing down.
Last project today
I did weld up this last side panel before I ran out of gas and chair hopped for the rest of the day.
I did visit my cherry trees several times during the day. They are going fast as the birds are helping me out.
These panels will complete all my side panels but I still have several ceiling panels to make yet.
Tomorrow I hope to get all these panels wired up and installed.
You are not only chair hopping, you are hopping from job to job.
Things are getting done toute suite!

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
