I found this great chair in an alley, on our way to Baby J's surprise birthday party. He was blindfolded and wondering why I had stopped and what I was thrusting into the back of the car. Sadly a scraper had already had his way with it and had taken the rocking mechanism with him.
Three years ago today we were anxiously awaiting your arrival. We love you more than you will ever know.
Here are a few more pictures of our coop progress. I'm up next with my master painting skills, then we will use chicken wire to cover the rest. The second picture is of one of our chickens that has doubled in size in just a couple of weeks. She thought she was big shit on top of the water container, little does she know that if she does decide to fly the coop, at this point she may be a snack for a 95lb. pit bull. Hope fully we can get them in their coop soon, or we will have to put them in a larger cage in the meanwhile.
I finished another upholstery project. I found this very "granny chic" chair in an alley, and well I have a hard time saying , "no", so it came to live at our house. I thought it would be a perfect size for our sun room, since we have a table and chairs in there, but I still wanted a comfy chair for lounging. 
My husband has been working very hard all weekend on our coop. He almost lost a finger in the beginning, but came back strong the next day. I couldn't be more excited, or more proud of the handy work of my better half. The hinged box on the front is their nesting box. He is using some reclaimed lumber that he happened upon in an alley, the door hinges are from a found door, and he is also using a found door knob on the nesting box. We plan to use corrugated tin panels for the roof, and more reclaimed wood for the siding in their shelter. I will be painting/staining the structure. I will update photos as we get further along.
