It seems it was last used by hunters who dragged it into the woods as a temporary camp. Of course, they tore up some of the siding and knocked out a window along the way.
But, then I got this idea, it might make a good home for some chickens. However, in order to make room for chickens, I needed to tear out the unnecessary stuff. (Like the heater, the stove, the sink, the toilet, and some cabinetry.)
After tearing out the sink, stove, and cabinetry, I was left with this wheel well, which would need to be boxed in. I seem to be making more and more work for myself.
After removing the toilet, it was clear I would need to re-build this part of the floor, since it was mostly rotting particle board. Etc. Etc.
I will now spare you all the gruesome details of debris and reconstruction. Eventually, I had something that might make a nice place for chickens.
And now, all I need is some chickens. They should be here tomorrow. But, here's a sneak peek.
Can't wait to read the adventures of the chicks!!
ReplyDeletechapter One is catching :), I hope the rest will be as well illustrated as the beggining :) I keep an eye on their story ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, 'Nan', I am holding my breath. But, hope it will be a good story.
ReplyDeleteHi Leni, should I send some eggs to Bulgaria? Knowing how the mail goes, I doubt it would work!
OMG! This is so exciting! I can't wait to hear more adventures. What a fun project. Thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteWish me luck, Scriber. I am trying to make it a good thing for all, including these baby chickens.
ReplyDeleteYou're so cool to try this. I admire your spirit. I'm sure it will be a grand success and I'll be following along!

ReplyDeleteKnow what? This fledgling blog has all the makings of deserving being awarded a Blog of Note.
There are a lot of cool coops emerging, as back yard chickens become more popular. In fact, a friend in Portland has sent me several articles about backyard coops in Oregon. Thanks, Lydia.
