Livestock journal: our first chicken egg! (Plus a construction update)
I found this in one of the nesting boxes in the chicken hut this afternoon. It wasn't there this morning! It is as large as the bigger duck eggs we've collected. The duck eggs have been amazingly buttery tasting. Can hardly wait to taste the chicken eggs.
Hand framed floor joists
For the past several days we haven't cooked much, as we've been working on creating a floor. First we framed in floor joists above the landing area of the stairwell.
The stairs will start at the top of this wall and descend into the basement.
Then we built a wall to set the final trusses in the area the stairwell isn't.
We started laying the floor sheathing yesterday. We finished a little more than half the floor today and then ran out of sheathing. So we spent the rest of the afternoon buying the last load of subflooring. We hope to get this done before it rains!
