I became unemployed on Monday, April 2, but that doesn’t mean I spend all of my time on the chicken shed. I did work most of the time on it, but this week I had to do a few other things. My Bees came on April 8th so Saturday and Sunday were bee preparation and installation days.<\/p>\n

I finished the siding, put down the insulated floor and finished the interior paneling. I also made a good start on the door. Since the door is so small, I can’t buy one ready made, so I am making it out of layers of plywood, and some nice knotty pine siding. The complication is building a window into the door. The door itself will take about 20 hours of work by the time that I’m done.<\/p>\n

Next up after the door is to start work on the chicken run. This is more complicated than it sounds. I have to make the run so that Racoons can’t get in. This means fencing on all sides including the top. I have to attach the fencing to the shed without destroying all of my nice siding and moldings. I have to clear out the piles of stuff that I’ve been storing near the shed, because it is in the way.<\/p>\n

I have to stay focused on this, yet still keep track of the bees’ progress and start my job search.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the shed after Week 6:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was an accidental picture that showed my backyard as it would appear if it was on the side of a hill. I liked it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The silver tarp covers stuff that came out of the old shed that was crushed in the October storm.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I have to take down the swamp maples that are just a little too close to the shed. The new siding looks good as is, but it won’t stay that way so I’ll stain it gray when I finish everything else.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

View from the Cemetery. The blue tarp and other crap goes away soon.<\/p>\n
