Landing Lights
Continuing work on the outdoor kitchen. Today, Melissa and I built the landing transition step between the front porch and the outdoor kitchen. All things considered, it was a fairly straightforward 4-foot-by-8-foot platform placed on 10-inch-by-10-inch concrete pier footings. Altogether, it was a little over $100 in materials, and was actually a fun project to do together.
After we had the landing finished, we hung some old ceiling fans in the outdoor kitchen. These are fans that we replaced with remote control fans in the inside kitchen and dining room. Haven’t hooked up electricity yet, but they look good nonetheless.
Spring Chickens
Pop Pop took the kids to Moore’s a couple of weeks in a row…and now we have some spring chickens! The first batch is in the foreground, the second – which are a little smaller – is under the awning. They’re a mixed batch, but I’m pretty sure there’s a Barred Rock in there.
In addition to Pop Pop’s chickens, Melissa and the kids found the cuties below at Tractor Supply. They’re Sexlinks – Red and Black – and they’re just a few days old. In about six months, we’ll be getting some nice, large dark-brown eggs from these girls.
