Chicken Coop Maneuvers

 There are two cement pads on either side of our chicken coop - while the coop itself is on dirt. "Huh?", you say. Exactly. Just another example of how the previous owners of this domicile didn't care to do things properly.
Looking toward its future location
Where it's going
Doug decided to move that chicken coop. By himself. I am rolling my eyes and shaking my head. He spent a Saturday morning digging out one of the sides and propping it up.


Doesn't look fun, does it? Then it just sat there, waiting for him to decide what to do with it. Until we got a good 6-7 inches of snow. Then he decides that it is time to move that coop.



He got it about one foot from being all the way on the concrete pad. He was exhausted. Imagine that.


So this is where he started on it again last weekend. Luckily, the snow was gone.



He heaved and ho-ed, and finally got it square with that cement pad. This was the same Saturday that he put most of the fence up.



When he was done, I gave him a hand massage. He really deserved something nice after working so hard. And since he was finished moving it, he decided his next project was to make shelving for the inside of the coop. These days it's all I can do to finish a project...much less plan the next one.
