Just about knocked myself unconscious this afternoon, when the decrepit old rabbit hutch lid came down and knocked me in the side of the head. I had to sit down for about 5 minutes until my head cleared. I knew the thing was a piece of shit. I didn't know it was getting deadly. The left side of my face, ear, neck and head is covered in scratches and bruises. I've been making do with the damn thing because I can't fix the pens by myself.
I need help, local folks. This Saturday at 10am, I'm asking local friends to come by with their family and friends to help me re-fence Bunhalla. I'll be baking and cooking egg-related goodness, as well as ordering pizza. I'm asking that folks bring their own sodas, juices, etc. since I have no idea what folks drink these days. We'll be serving hot coffee, tea and our sweet well water.
The weather report is calling for clear and mild, in the fifties.
Recommendations:
Wear galoshes - its muddy out there!
Wear a sunhat and/or sunscreen
Wear gloves and make sure you have your tetanus up to date!
Sturdy clothes that can get dirty
Extra staple guns - I have two
Extra shovels or spades, we need to bury the fencing 6 inches underground
Hope to see you here!

Date: 2011-04-19 05:17 am (UTC)Basically, we have three stages:
Rip out/off the old fencing
Dig a border to bury the fencing
Install new fencing (to include replacing dirt on either side of buried fence)
We'll also need to move Luci-fer from her broody nest and get her set up in one of the pens so she can keep her ducklings safe once they hatch. Right now, she's built this little nest between two upright pallets.
With any luck, we'll be able to catch the ducks and put them in the breeding pens. That should be video-worthy, I think.

I absolutely promise you a visit this year, though. Other than August, when I have a family wedding in Colorado, I'm pretty open until late November or so.

It's possible that the rest of 2011 can as well.
We'll reschedule. It's all good.
