 we have had some very strange dog "moovements" in the past few days... and i think lynn hit the nail on the head--- it happened 2 days after we put on advantix.  sure enough---- between george  dvm and george ( sd, excellent).....and the internet.. it looks like we have \ a few dogs with a reaction... george dvm suggested vitamin "E", bath and discintinue of course  we have some here still so we can write to them and look for a refund????

 just another case of cure one thing and cause another. 

so .. back to. my chicken coop project....

 

I built a very nice chicken coop 12 foot by 16 foot....  the yellow “yolk house” --- and for some reason it was decided we should take it down... so we did giving us a pretty good supply of lumber in multiples of four foot...   anything I build is in 4 foot sections because the plywood being 4 foot by 8 foot..... so that means I have $500  or $600 worth of lumber stacked not too carefully behind the Tea tent.... Which being 24 by 32 would lend itself to some kind of addition with all that lumber.. like some kind of closet deal on the back for walking mowers ...snow blowers... weedwackers., Roto tillers and several other walkbehind sort of things..

however the lumber never got stacked very carefully so to try and make a roof out of the stacked lumber got to be overwhelming so it just didn't get done.

With both Matt and mark around to help I really should be able to get that lumber reformed into a shed...  there's no way I can do it by myself.

 

I had enough  back Trouble washing the 36 plastic containers which once held the roast beef ends from the sandwich shop ----frozen solid for about two years..

well if I can sit down with mark and just look at that pile of lumber maybe we can get it started----- it shouldn't be too hard because it lines up with the heavy duty posts of the still existing old  chicken “run” -----I haven't a clue what I'm doing... except I'm pretty good at figuring out which direction to hammer a nail to take the weight of whatever is going to be on top of it...  things I build may sag. and sway a little.. but nothing has  falling down yet..  the T tent has to be 15 years old now.... and it does have a bit of a sag in the top line which you could notice ordinarily from the puppy hill camera... but it doesn't fall down.

yet at any rate. My method  of  siphon hose and 3 x 4 x 5 triangles does  not lend itself to accuracy......

 ******

 There is that shed at my old house in Lynnfield.... still there...... built with plywood just thick enough to hold up the paint.. and that was ?1970???-

 

Gotta try...

Hopefully I have not scared mark into avoiding  SDP. ??anybody want to join this project.?    come right ahead !!

Betsy--- as in “scarlott” owner ... rode one of janine’s “rescue” mules in a dressage competition yesterday... and WON.... BEATING 15 OTHER HORSES....

That is exceedingly funny to me... I have long told that group  that donkeys and  mules are  “FUN”----- horses are nothing but trouble,,,,

You have all heard me say something like that before...

 

Latest horse   concept   is.  ... falling off an ill.  behaved horse may require a mediflight by helicopter to boston....that is $35,000 and not covered by insurance.
