Another bathroom post

We should rename this blog "The Tiles and Chickens Gazette".

Shower: lotsa progress

 

Floor: tiles mostly in.  Looking sharp (and dusty). We went with the dark grey grout.

 

More thrilling tile-related updates coming soon so stay tuned!!!!!!

Free-range chickens

Getting his tile on

Anyone know any good chicken jokes?

The chickens are just about grown up now, and are enjoying their new habitat in the coop.  They still peep like chicks, and no eggs yet.

 Britney, the blonde one, is the friendliest.

 Gaga is the goofiest.

Two months later...

After a lot of stress and anxiety, one wall's almost done.  We've crossed the point of no return.

He rehearsed all week.

The chickens are in the coop

Well, today they were anyway. The coop is pretty much done!  It is (hopefully) predator-proof, now it has just about everything except nest boxes and roosts in the henhouse. It'll probably also get a paint job at some point. Here are the girls enjoying what will be their new home. We'll probably start putting them outside during the day and bringing them back into the basement at night this week, then they'll be outdoors full-time.

Brave new world pt. 2

The chickens had another adventure today.  They got to kick it outside again, and meet a BABY!  It was a cute-off for sure.

Brave new world

The chickens had their first taste of outdoor chickenhood today - we let them wander around on the lawn in the sun for a while.  With the dogs locked inside, staring intently through the sliding glass door and whining.  We should've taken a picture of that.  The chickens enjoyed pecking and scratching around in the real world, and they didn't even get eaten by any crows or anything, joy!
