Redwood limbs add character

I needed some poles to prop up the pen ceiling in some places so I walked over to one of the big redwood trees in the yard and found these limbs on the ground. I cut them to  length and installed them in the pen. You can see them in some of the other pictures doing their job.

Cut and attach

I had three panels that needed wire cut and attached so I worked on that.

Last of the painting

After finishing one panel I did a bit more painting. Marty gave me about a quart and a half of dark green paint when he was here yesterday. I still had some floor paint so I put another coat of paint on the floor for number 4. I then put a second coat of paint on the sides that will get the wettest.

Painting the shed.

Roof debrie

Originally the shed was under some fir trees and I knew there was a lot of debrie up on the roof so I got the ladder and cleaned off the roof of the shed.

Todays panels up

I got the wire on the last panel late in the day. Here’s the side panel and roof I worked on and put up.

Three more panels to build and this part of the enclosure will be complete.

Work area

The garden needed watering so I turned on the water until it got dark. You can see the two poles in the enclosure propping up the roof a bit. They add a bit of character to the place too. I will use more forest limbs for the roosts when I construct them.

Had a nice day.

More paint to the shed

   I started out the day painting the shed floor for the third coat and then painted that pink door and put a second coat of paint on the side that will get the wettest.

Visitors arrive

Just as I was finishing up painting Marty and Patti and Dave and Joann came by for a visit. We sat around and shot the bull for an hour or so and then they took off for the ocean as they were going to lunch over there after some sight seeing.

Working on panels

After they left I got back into the work mode and cut rebar and welded up three panels.

That took  most of the day. I was too pooped to cut and attach the wire but I did good getting the three panels welded up.

Garden is coming up

I notice some of my beans I planted about a week ago are coming up.

And the radishes are popping up too.

I chair hopped around the yard in the evening until it cooled down. The roses are still putting on a show.

Not really an end in sight

I have three more panels to make to complete the chicken run enclosure and then one more enclosure to make before I’m done, but that one can wait a bit. I still have lots of other work to do to complete this project so I’ll keep at it.

It was a nice day out while I worked away.
