Well I start a new job a week from today so I figured i would get a few projects completed that ive been meaning to do.

 

I built a Chicken tractor for my Guinea Fowl and Narraganset Turkeys, I still need to add some roofing and a gutter for the rain water catchment and auto-waterer. This also has a PVC feeder and the nesting boxes can be accessed from the outside. The goal is to not have to go inside.

 

The Green House will get its plastic today aswell. Im going to add concrete backing board under the window so I can add a small wood burner in the winter time. A friend of mine said he has some 25 gallon steel drums I think that will be the ticket with a barrel stove kit.

Fun Weekend For sure!! Today ill be knocking out the smokehouse and hopefully finishing these two projects aswell.

great job! We used a propane tank when we built our smokehouse, amazing how much heat that thing puts out.

I like it did you fill it with water while cutting on it?

I bought a brand new one that had never been filled, the 30 dollars was worth the extra safety
