Job #4 - Shed

Job #4 - Clean Out The Shed

Bright shiny new containers.
Retired the plastic cans.

These metal cans with tight fitting lids are for keeping

the chicken feed safe from little critters.

One of the cans is just for storing the

chickens feeder in overnight.

We found that mice, etc., were even getting into

the chickens hanging feeder.

I put the chickens feed out in front of the shed

in the open, in the sun during the day

where mice, etc., will fear to tread.

The old plastic cans didn't let leaks from the roof in,
but they let the mice in.

I took everything out of the shed and swept it clean.

Then I only put things back inside that were actually being used.

Or had a very good chance at it.

I need to do a better job of covering the bikes

In front of the bikes is a plastic container holding a straw bale,

the white bag is full of newspaper kindling,

the plastic can is for kindling...

...dog crate in the corner,

plastic cover and deer netting on top,

and the black thing in front of the dog crate

is a fold out metal dog pen.

So nice to walk into an orderly shed

The shelf is full of all kinds of chicken stuff

for adults and chicks.

Didn't realize there was so much.

The garden tools are all hanging

except for the small hand tools that are

in a bucket of sand.

I think I did pretty good getting rid

of lots of stuff we didn't use.

Below is a photo of what is left of the compost pile.
I need to fill it up again.

I had packed straw around the sides to keep the chickens

from pecking all the soil out.

I dug out pretty much all the soil

and added it to the planter beds.

I went out to take photos of the chickens

but couldn't find them.

Under the house?

Off in the woods?
