The Grand Entrance to our Chicken and Rabbit Pen

Last year it was a sled run from the back door to the pen.  Hopefully this year will be an improvement.  Here is what happened when we decided we needed a little cover over the door.  We 1st needed to dig out the side and secure the dirt behind a wall.                        Big rock, thank goodness for the bobcat     Our friend Brian came by and you know what happens when you visit and we are on a project, yes you get put to work!                    

John had to weld brackets to hold the top on.              Next the frame that John welded has to go up.                       John had me go up and stand on the roof while he tacked it in place, what does that say?!?!??! 

Next comes the trenches for the drainage of melting snow.  We 1st had to fill in some spots.  We then filled them with rock. 

                                                     There was a lot of hand shoveling to smooth out the rock.  AND ITS HEAVY!   WAA LAA!!!!  The finished project.  Just in time for the snow.
