This is the concrete floor that I poured!
I had to do it when it was not raining, but it was hot and humid so there is really “sweat equity” in this floor! Hahaha!!
What else can I say about it except:”Hurray! It is done!”
Friends have been giving us empty egg cartons: they seem to think that we will have enough eggs out of 4 chickens to keep them and us supplied!! :-D
And the chickens will be here on Wednesday! But…the rooster is back order!!!!! lol
So another project that is DONE!!
P.S.:I will post pictures when our 4 ladies are here!

That is one very sharp little coop. Although I must say it’s the smallest poultry pen I’ve ever seen (‘course, it’s also the first one I’ve seen for a whole 4 birds!..lol.)
And with 4, you should get a couple dozen eggs weekly, when they’re at their peak.

Tiny but nice! hmmm…I roo to 4 hens, those poor hens are going to have thir fill of him quite quickly, I’ll say next year you’ll be in the market for more hens :)
Here’s a roo joke…Probably not far from the truth:
A farmer wanted to have his hens serviced, so he went to the market looking for a rooster. He was hoping he could get a special rooster – one that would service all of his many hens.
When he told this to the market vendor, the vendor replied, “I have just the rooster for you. Henry here is the horniest rooster you will ever see!”
So the farmer took Henry back to the farm. Before setting him loose in the hen house though, he gave Henry a little pep talk. “Henry”, he said, “I’m counting on you to do your stuff.” And without a word, Henry then strutted into the hen house.
Henry was as fast as he was furious, mounting each hen like a thunderbolt. There was much squawking and many feathers flying, till Henry had finished having his way with each hen. But Henry didn’t stop there, he went in to the barn and mounted all the horses, one by one and still at the same frantic pace. Then he went to the pig house where he did the same.
The farmer, watching all of this with disbelief, cried out, “Stop, Henry, you’ll kill yourself.” But Henry continued, seeking out each farm animal in the same manner.
Well the next morning, the farmer looked out and saw Henry lying there on his lawn. His legs were up in the air, his eyes rolled back, and his long tongue hanging out. A buzzard was already circling above Henry.
The farmer walked up to Henry saying, “Oh you poor thing, look what you did, you’ve gone and killed yourself. I warned you big buddy.”
“Shhhhh,” Henry whispered, “The buzzard is getting closer.”

it looks so cute! I hope you don’t have to do more work to it next year—sounds like you put enough sweat into this.
(great joke by the way)
