Well, I got the door constructed and hung complete with barrel bolt. Whoo hoo! Very pleased that I found that great pair of hinges out in the desert. A little WD40 and they are as good as new. Love to find things! A lot of the wood I'll be using to frame the windows has also been found and that's fun. So, it was a day of pleasure and progress and hopefully tomorrow will be the same and I'll get the chicken door and first window framed and hinged. While picking up hay today, I noticed they started selling chicks and chickens and I found a great contact for someone to help me choose the best breed(s) for my purposes. Eggs only, but I want them to do well in the heat as it can get to be a bit over 110 here in the summer. Hopefully, by next summer we'll be in Arkansas at our new homestead, but for this summer, gotta keep the birds comfortable! Hopefully, in a month, my coop will be up and running. But, I've got a lot of work to do yet.
