Of course I am talking about the roof, the roof of my
chicken coop that is now almost finished. In the beginning I thought, build a
chicken coop no problem. But one thing I didn’t realize is that in all of the
stuff I have built with dad and around the house I have not designed a roof…
Well The posts I set in the back sank of course, Which
lowered the initial height of the roof and after the roofing began with 3 guys
on top they sank some more, nearly to the point of being level…So Oxford called
in an expert carpenter, Emess’s brother. And long story short he has corrected
the roof by building braces similar to what I have seen made in the U.S. like a
triangular support system where the peak of triangle is flush with the back of
the roof and building. With the help of several of the guys here the work is
almost finished and they will work for a few hours in the morning to finished panning
the roof.
A friend of mine is going to Guinea for me in the next week
or two to buy some baby chickens that are supposed to be top of line English type
laying hens, every serious poultry producer here goes to Guinea for the laying
hens because they are much cheaper and better quality.
All of the beds have been prepared at newsteps for the
vegetables and in the past two days we have planted most of them with Corn,
Okra, Beans, and Sweet Potatoes. Speaking of Sweet Potatoes Jesi and I fried up
some sweet potato chips tonight that were awesome! But they were not as good as
the Onion petals we made that rival Arby’s, we just needed the southwestern
sauce they use. We made them with flour, dehydrated milk, water, salt and
pepper and they were delicious especially with some Ketchup!
Heading to the beach in the morning to do some surfing and
relax after another good weeks work. I have also made ground on my container
this week finally, next week just may be the week.
