The post whore thread.

[Irving]

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.




OBC, are you around buddy?

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.

Well.....sometimes you do things to do things, and not for how it makes you feel, if that makes sense. You can make someone's life better without them even realizing it, let alone appreciating it, but you still did it.


That's pretty much how I fell around here. I make all your lives better and more enjoyable, whether you realize it or not.

If you make it so any opening is small enough they can't fly out after eating one of your chickens, you're ahead of the game.

I was reading on the chicken forum about an owl getting into the run, killing some chickens, then leaving without anything. Just like how raccoons kill fish just to do it, but don't even eat them.

Thanks for the Duck-date, Irving. I like seeing the progression of your experience with that. Thanks everyone.

Gotta get up early tomorrow and do more stuff, get back here and do my best to write an obituary that is accurate and effectively representative of an exceptional person. She deserves no less.

No,...I realize it...and thank you.

I had the same kinda thing happen with my birds. I forget, like 20 birds or so killed, heads ripped off and left there. None were eaten that I can tell. They're friggin yummy! At least eat them!

Holy cow. I can't imagine this. Sorry for your loss man.
