Rednecks and chicken coops

Well, today was build a chicken coop day. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Now, let me start off by saying that we are rednecks...through and through, we are rednecks. Which isn't the same as white trash, though some may think it's the same thing (but that's another topic some day).
Anyhow, last year we got a lot of pallets and made our horses a run-in shelter for the cold Idaho winters. Brandon decided we needed to put tar paper on it to fill in some holes and really I'm not sure why we put it on there. Horses decide it's a wonderful thing to tear apart, so now we have a hawnky-jawed horse shed that looks horrible. We are now the proud owners of a pallet chicken coop, to go with the horses house. Hey, it works and the chickens are happy and dry. Next, we need to work on the horse lean-to. That will be much more fun with the horses eating our clothes and poking our butts.
Life is a little calm around here right now and really kinda nice. Something is bound to happen here soon, hopefully it won't be too crazy. We do have the girls' Halloween party at school to go to this week...FUN, FUN, FUN!!!.
It was a beautiful day here today. Warm, about 55-60 degrees, light breeze...perfect for chicken coop building. I love Autum!!
I will get some pictures posted and will talk later.
