"GETTER DONE"

What happens when you change your mind a thousand times? 
You never get anything done!!! That's what happens. 
So I had to get my act together and "getter done". 
So the coop is almost done - pics to come.  Changed the design a lot, but I think it's good for a starter house using my limited carpenter skills.  I'm so proud of the door - made from scratch (it's the little things in life that make me happy).  One battle wound from the chicken wire and a new chicken plan.  I am buying 4 - 18month old ladies from a friend's brother that has to sell his small flock.  And they are Ameraucanas!!!  It took some time, but it's getting there.
Just think with all of the money I've spent on the coop, plans, equipment and chickens - I could have purchased a new spring wardrobe from the clearance racks at Target and Yonkers.  The sacrifices I am making to be happy.  By the end of next week I will be able to say "One project done - ten thousand more to complete".

One word of advice: when looking at plans and trying to figure out what type of coop to build and how; reference www.backyardchickens.com.  They had the best plan information I could find.
