That's a very well thought out design; and obviously well executed. Those should be some very happy chickens. So how many chickens are you planning on raising?
We originally raised a pair of geese 3 years ago and we did eat some of the eggs the first year. The goose unfortunately got killed; we assume by coyote(s) in the creek as we never found a kill site or a carcass for that matter. Fast forward two years and we decided to raise a pair of geese for our widowed gander. That has worked out very well so far. He is a changed man with his new harem, much more chill. Trust me, the last thing you need around the farm is a grumpy gander. Not sure what we will do with all the eggs next year. They taste fine but they are different than chicken eggs and obviously much, much larger. We also have chickens so we really don't need the goose eggs. Maybe we will just let them hatch and see what happens?
I can patch sheetrock with excellent results, and I can hang sheetrock with the best of them; just don't ask me to block in a whole room. My one or two attempts at that were unmitigated disasters. I haven't really tried to find a brick mason yet other than getting a list from the local brick retailer. Pretty sure it will be difficult for such a small job but maybe I will get lucky. Either that or I will have to learn. Never really tried it but, like many skills, it looks really easy when you watch a good mason at work.
Those chisels are something else. After carving in 54 large mortises they are still very sharp. I really don't understand how they can stay sharp through all that carving. Not sure what I will do with them now that I'm done with this timber frame but I sure couldn't have done it without them.
