Spring Improvements

Our chickens are getting really big. In fact, I think they may be ready to put out in the yard at the end of the month. I still need to finish off the chicken yard. I have the posts in place, but need to put up the fencing and make the door. I am also going to hang a soft fence over the top to keep out hawks and owls. It is crazy, but they will attack chickens.

I finished up the din-shield for our basement bathroom shower. Over the next couple of weeks I am going to tile it, and then we will have an official 3/4 bath in the basement. This will be great because, as of right now, we only have the one bath tub upstairs, so when people come to visit, it gets a little crowded in the morning.

The big project for the summer will be to finish up the bonus room and convert it into our bedroom. This will be great for the boys, as we will be able to separate Liam from Darius and Asa and give them all a little more room upstairs. To finish it, I will need to do some slight reframing. We decided to put in a vaulted ceiling to accommodate a fan and give the room a little more volume. After that, I will need to do a little rewiring, put in insulation and then sheet rock the walls. Paint, put in flooring and we are done. It seems like a lot, but I don't think it will take to long and hope to be moving our bedroom furniture into our new room by Sept. 1.
