I was up there with some newbie roof salesman and when I pointed it out, he didn't pay attention to what I was pointing at and went to walk over to stand where I was pointing. I grabbed him by the belt and probably saved him some broken bones since we were close to the peak of the roof on a true two story.

That's a big coop. Wish I could do a run that easy with my space.

That's bigger than what they're building in LA backyards for the homeless.

Well, not working off of plans is biting me in the ass a little bit. I've got some reinforcing to do as the coop is now very large, but my original plan had mediocre wall framing. Nothing I can't work around, but every time I run into something that wasn't planned well (roof framing that doesn't match any size of decking, DOH) I feel dumb. As such, I'll probably only put up pictures of the finished product instead of a build thread.

Anyway, here is something we can all agree on.

Just did stop in to see stuff....had a rough and really long day.

Tomorrow looks just as promising.

There's no question that I have some support from my friends here for sure, and I do have the kid who helped me tremendously today, and tomorrow too. I am thankful for all just mentioned about support.

At the same time...I don't want to act a whiner, but I surely could use at least a couple of damn breaks that could go my way for a change. Even most recently, seemingly positive things turn into giant pains in the ass in the long run. At best it's a wash, or actually a negative when it was to be a good thing. My frustration level with daily interactivity is on overload. Last week at the grocery store, thoughts of just cold cocking some poor bastard looking at a can of soup was in my head. This isn't me, this isn't who I am....I just need some breaks. Doesn't seem too much to ask for....but that's where I'm at.

I'm trying guys, fanning the little flame of hope that could hold it all together for later on....lol....jesus.
