Vic303 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Well it has been an eventful year or so here. DH was in a difficult, toxic situation at work for the first 10mo of 2015. Boss issues... But that all changed in Nov, after he got a transfer to his old group, and he moved 90mi away during the week. Transfers are usually a year long wait in his company. His came thru in ten days! This meant we were having to list our home for sale NOW! And had a bunch of stuff to do to make that happen. But seriously, God was driving this bus, and we were just along for the ride! Our house listed in Jan, and we had a contract in two days at over our asking price. T left us scrambling to find a place to live. Our offer on a ten acre place was rejected soundly despite being at full asking price. Since I had prayed for clarity on that offer, it was apparent God did not want us there. I won't bore y'all with the details of the story of buying our new home, but suffice it to say, we like it! We have an acre, a 24x30 shop, and a real pool. Chickens are allowed, so we will be building a coop big enough for a dozen layers. We are now up to the big Rhodesian Ridgebacks in our pack. They are all big sweet dogs, and our newest, Ranger, thinks he has to save you from the pool. Unfortunately, he actually attempts to drown you instead! Once it warms up enough we will work with him on that problem. We still have a ton of stuff in storage, but we are whittling it down weekly. It takes about 90 min to drive to the storage unit, so I have to plan for it. That's all from here for now. If anyone has a good coop design, please let me know. I'm thinking of Buff Orpington and RIR's as my starter hens. Quote Link to comment

Vic303 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Getting ready to build our chicken coop. Planning on a dozen birds eventually. Going to start with buff orps, and add rir's next spring. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 You get any of the unsettled weather? Will you build another tornado shelter or does this place have a basement for refuge? MtRider Quote Link to comment
