A...D.A. makes it sound so straightforward and easy. Adding the extra structural supports was a little tricky since the original supports were 2X3 and we added 2X4's. <br /><br />Sawz-alls are wonderful and tend to cut through everything including a fiberglass ladder, I guess. Still dunno how that happened. <br /><br />Then there were the roof panels that didn't quite match up. We used enough caulk and spray foam I bet we could've weather-proofed the statue of liberty. <br />All in all the result was pretty good.Spousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10303039058300071148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-40071034539328437752010-06-05T22:02:23.612-05:002010-06-05T22:02:23.612-05:00Lucky girls!Lucky girls!Hill Country Hippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723660054417859671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-57552353673573448952010-06-05T20:39:16.815-05:002010-06-05T20:39:16.815-05:00Lady - you blow my mind every time I read!

We spent almost half as much again on lumber to shore it up! <br /><br />As far as introducing the pullets: I like to wait until they're fully feathered and prefer to sleep on a roost at night. Then I'll pick a dark night, and slip the new girls in onto the roosts with the old girls. I've read that using this manner makes for an easier transition - each group wakes up and finds the other already there, and so there's less fuss than with a conscious introduction. That said, it seems like the new group tends to keep to itself for a few weeks before it integrates with the older group.d.a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10701833441665984965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591163563166655461.post-31334352100201906322010-06-05T15:27:22.040-05:002010-06-05T15:27:22.040-05:00Serslay awesome.
I saw this shed at the lumberyard...Serslay awesome.<br />I saw this shed at the lumberyard... but Geoff thinks he wants to start form scratch (!!!!?!!!!)<br />Seems you can have plenty of design and build fun sprucing up the ready-made structure, like you guys have done. It looks super.<br />How long do you wait before introducing your chicks to your chicas?Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.com
