Got 8 Orpinginton chicks today. Kaden was more than excited. Had them all named before we got home. I only got the siding on the coop. Still have plenty to do on it, but it will be done in time. William will be coming to help again. He helped me with the siding. Kaden confirmed that I was the best dad ever.

Finished the framing for Kaden’s coop today. William stopped by and helped me carry it out to location. I put the framing for the nesting box on there. Made the relocation easier with it off. The siding and roof will make it look much better. Hiding the old reclaimed lumber. I will build the run in a couple weeks when I am off for some vacation time.

Changed oil and all the filters on the John Deere. Ava had to ride for a while. Then she wanted to work in the garden. Finished all the drip irritations today. Ended up with 13 rows around 30′ irrigated.

Even the factory rounds. Good to have the data. The data was recorded in my notebook, as opposed to here in Day One. Just quicker that way – need to see about finishing the app I was developing for this. So here is the data:
