I decided to stay home today and work on projects instead of going kayaking on the river.
Whacked the stump into pieces
I started out with the stump removal and finished whacking away at it once I got it down below ground level.
I than filled in the hole where the stump was and put the wood pieces in the wheelbarrow to get rid of.
Redoing the pier blocks
Next I had to move two of the pier blocks that the chicken coop will sit on so I dug them up and reset them to level with the old driveway.
Roof panel wire
Later I got back to putting the wire on one of the roof panels for my garden enclosure. I had three to do, but only got one done, but I did cut all the wire for all of them.
I installed that panel wiring it in to hold it all together.
Checking out my brother’s chicken yard
By then it was almost dark. Should I do some weed mowing, or maybe I should go over to my brother’s chicken yard and see how he’s doing things.
The chicken yard won so I walked over there to have a look.
Here’s some of his young chickens out in the yard.
Changing plans
I checked out his roosts and his nesting boxes. He wasn’t using a chicken coop for this purpose, but just had them out in a secure enclosure outside the coop so I should change my design to do the same. My coop will likely be used to store feed and raise little ones to a larger size when I need to.
It was getting dark so I headed on home and that was my day working in the yard.
You are coming along nicely with the enclosure.
Always good to get helpful ideas from how others do things. Sometimes we over complicate things too.
I see you got the best of that stump!

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.
