That sir is excellent craftsmanship! Well done and looks excellent !
Yep, rented a mixer had 2 buddies coming over to help, but they didn't show so I did it myself. Started about 7 in the morning and cleaned my tools about 10 at night. Definitely a long day.First 2 dozen eggs should pay that off. Just thinking about all those 80 lb bags of concrete makes my back hurt though
Just out of curiosity, how much more would it have been to just order the concrete, pour, level, finish and done.Yep, rented a mixer had 2 buddies coming over to help, but they didn't show so I did it myself.

I don't know I didn't check. I can only get a concrete truck or a trailer about 100 feet from where the slab was poured (trees and fences). So I didn't give it much thought. When they delivered the pallets of concrete they got it about 60 feet from where I needed it and then moved it the rest of the way with my 4 wheeler. It was definitely a hard days work, and I was a little sore and stiff the next day. I did pretty good for an old guy.Just out of curiosity, how much more would it have been to just order the concrete, pour, level, finish and done.
Owl bait.27 more fur balls arrived yesterday
We have had chickens for years now, I think we currently have 21 egg layers. The end of last year my wife says she would like to get a couple more to add to our flock. I said no because our coop and nesting boxes were about maxed out with what we currently have. She gave me the please look, next thing I know I am standing out in the chicken yard coming up with dimensions for a new coop. She had a couple of requests;
1. A walk in house
2. Large enough to double what we currently have
3. Windows for ventilation
4, Running water and electricity
One week later and I was placing an order for 85 (80 pound) bags of concrete, and it started from there. Well, it is done now. 24 feet long 12 feet wide. It currently has 12 nesting boxes in it and I have 8 more that can go in it. We have 25 new chicks arriving this week.
