Brick work ... almost

The chicken run is adjacent to the storage container and there was a big gap underneath the container that needed to be filled.

This gap is a problem because it would be an open door for coons, snakes and another animal that wanted a quick meal.

The boys and I took the most inexpensive way to fill the gap using materials collected around the homestead … cedar logs and rocks.

Mixing up the mortar

Working the gap

Finished!

Worked out pretty well if I do say so myself.

The Rules

Marshmallows up

Double Keyhole?

Six more hours to daybreak

Contrary to popular belief

Not a care in the world

All of a sudden I'm quite hungry

Not on my watch

Hurry!

So inviting

Behind the wood shed

FARMALL

Acorns a plenty

More humming bird shots

Just having fun!
