Door journal: getting closer to have winter quarters for the birds

As the designated door designer, creating a gate for our chicken run fell to me.

It took most of the day, but it works!

Yesterday I made a duck ramp. The chickens will be able to hop through their fowl flow flap just fine, but ducks don't hop as well.

Michael finished fencing yesterday and restacked wood today. People have mentioned stacking wood as a mindless job. It's not. If not done correctly, the stacks fall over. Our stacks are particularly tricky because Michael cuts the log lengths to about a foot to 18 inches. We have two wood burning stoves (one in the pole barn) and one takes short sticks. First frost last night. We need to be ready for winter!
