ta-da: DD and I decided to wait to get together another day. Got the mail and took scraps out to compost Mostly unloaded the dishwasher, waiting for some plastic items to dry Cut a squash in half, gave half to the chickens (They seemed bored. This gives them something to do, and makes their egg yolks more yellow) Baked the other half of squash Scrubbed another toilet
to-do: Continue with tidying up Find 10 items to toss! Look for a few screws for my "later" project described below. The door came with screws, but they might not work with my unique installation. (It is designed with bolts on the outside and nuts on the inside, but there are places that the nut/bolt combination won't work in my application.)
Later, (around 4pm) I will go out and let the chickens out of their run, and see if I can get the chicken door mostly installed. I do need to measure and cut a board for trim, drill a few holes... I'm not sure how everything will line up. With luck, I might get this done before dark. I might have to remove the existing door runners which run vertically on the inside. This new door will be installed horizontally outside. I did give it a quick looking over, and think it won't be too hard.

I think you are so clever Ally I wish I had the skills and confidence to build things Today is a day of redemption. I went out on Friday night and participated enthusiastically in some pre-Christmas festivities and consequently was too "tired" to do anything yesterday. Today is the day to get the house back in order Up earlyish and Showered Out to pick up car that G left behind last night and a little bit of shopping Put shopping away immediately! Fed and watered chickens and collected eggs Cleaned out fridge of multiple leftovers - chickens had another feast Lots of kitchening Started dishwasher Tried to pay for some Christmas shopping but new credit card isn't working Started load of washing Fold and put away clean washing Get next load ready to go Make list of things to do today

beesnest What a great idea! I've been wanting to set myself up with easy-to-make meals, and I have too many potatoes right now. Hi, razy . Started going through accumulated mail and got rid of some. Washed dishes, and I'm now 100% caught up again. Got dressed. Continue going through all that old mail. Wrap present. Empty shredder. Put the Goodwill items in a box. Cook some potatoes and chop up for hash browns.

razy, My dad knows how to built/fix repair just about everything, from electrical to plumbing to automobiles. One day about 10-15 years ago I told him that I wanted to build an automatic door for the chickens. I built the physical door, but he used odds and ends her had laying around to build the mechanism to open and close it. He's a genius when it comes to that type of thing. He's 92 now, and has some pinched nerves and such that make his fingers numb, and cause him difficulty to do the things he wants to do, so it has him frustrated. I'm grateful to have had him in my life all of these years. ta-da: Ran into a few minor problems but new chicken door is installed, mostly. I drilled one hole to big, and I will deal with that tomorrow, and I need to get some wood filler and or caulk to seal up a few spots where the wood is starting to rot.
