Chicken House Construction, phase 3




The chicken house is really coming along, almost all closed in. The egg room in the middle is going to be really cool. I didn't take a pic, but beside where I was standing to take the photos is the generator shed. We should have chickens as soon as the equipment is all installed, which will still take a while.
As a side note, and a down point, our neighbors are still trying to make us miserable and creating trouble where it isn't......it's hard to believe that anyone has so little to do that they find the ridiculous need to keep making telephone calls and sending officials out to our house for STUPID complaints. At this point, they have sent so many different state agencies to our house, I probably could charge them with harassment, but I hate doing something like that...and it's Christmas! SHESH! Today, we had a state official out because the other day, when the winds were over 40 miles per hour, some plastic was in his pasture. Can you believe it?? One piece of plastic blew into his pasture! I'm appalled at the childishness and ridiculous nature of the behavior of these "supposed" adults...leaves me beyond words frustrated a lot. With so many REAL problems going on in the U.S. today....people who are dying for our country....the economy that has taken a major hit....so many people who are downsized out of their jobs....states running out of unemployment money to pay folks who have been downsized out of their jobs.....children who are hungry and without having their needs met....and the time of year that it is. With the way the neighbors act, one would think we have done something to them.....well, we haven't. Our chicken house isn't in front of their house...it's beside our house with nothing but pasture behind it. We never say anything about what they do with their property...we never complain when he's out making all kinds of noise early on the weekend mornings with his chainsaw or other equipment....we never complain about their dogs who run loose all the time and truly are a nuisance to the neighbors (tearing up trash bags, constantly going into neighbors yards, running up and down the road in front of vehicles, and ganging up on other dogs--they have several loose dogs).... I guess they just don't have happy lives, so they want everyone else to be miserable just like they are.....so sad! Maybe I just need to pray for them!

Okay, enough negativity....the chicken house project has been a LONG time in coming and I am going to savor every moment of the construction. Time to look on the bright side and the blessing: Wes will be producing eggs in no time!! YIPPEE, he will no longer be downsized out of a job and unemployed (since March of this year!!), and this is going to be soooo good for him!! God has richly blessed us, answered our prayers, and we are thankful!!
Hope y'all are snuggled cozy and warm with your families, enjoying the beauty of the season.....sipping on some hot cocoa....and enjoying all of the blessings of the season.
Until we chat again,

Goodness, are your neighbors going to give up or continue to cause problems? I hope it all gets settled soon. When will you have chickens in your new chicken house. That's one BIG chicken house!
