    I appreciate how clean and tidy you keep you whole homestead! The extra care and attention is noticed! It is a joy to watch you work together.

      For the quail hoop coop, could you put hinges on the wood panels that are on either side of the door? That way it would be easy to just open them on nice days (and during summer) and close them during bad weather.

    "Good enough is perfect". That saves a lot of money and a lot of stress on the natural world. We need to take that attitude much more.

    You know, I don't have a farm I actually live in an apartment in the city but I love to watch you build these things for your animals. I'm 62 and disabled so I don't think I'll ever have a farm of my own now but I so enjoy watching you both build these structures for your animals and how well you take care of them all. Keep up the good work.❤

    Good job! My expression around my place is something my Dad said to me once when we were building a hen house. Namely, "Can't see it from the highway". But in the end, close enough is perfect.

    HAPPY to see you guys got this all done. Ever notice how the Lord gets us ready for what's to come? I'm a last minute type person and sometimes it takes me a- "here ya go, " to get me moving. I'm learning, to be prepared, no matter what the outcome is. Watching Mark Sudduth ( HurricaneTrack) talking about heading out to your neck of the woods, yesterday, perked up my ears. Thinking about you guys, and Grandpa Doss Farms. If you watch Mark, he is planning on being there for an extended amount of time, because it looks like 4 storms, back to back heading you way. Stay safe!

And with a marker, you could number the address 'parts' for each one, so four instance...Coop 1..and the parts to that coup's winter coverings..Coop 1 R for right & L for left Front or back! 😀....Coup 1-Coup 1-R or Coop 1-L ....
