The main project today was to put a little roof over the chicken shed door.
Here’s the parts I’m assembling for the job.
Clearing the door
I installed it high enough to clear the door I thought.
Not high enough
But when I went to shut the door in the evening the door hit the roof just barely so I’ll have to adjust that later.
Burying the fence wire
I dug some more ditches around the pen to bury the the underground wire that will keep critters from digging under it and moved some good dirt into the ditches that I removed the driveway rock.
I also worked on getting the watering system hooked up for the chicken pens as each pen will have a sprinkler on top of it that will be controlled by automatic timers. I will need to run water pipes later and put water faucets around the area to get rid of the long hoses I’m using now.
Taking it easy
I spent the rest of the day chair hopping and doing some planning. I think I did a better job today taking it easy than I did yesterday.
Sure didn’t look like the door would hit in your first picture. Must be an illusion!
A little adjustment will do the trick. :)
Glad you had a bit of a restful day.

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.
