see what that is on my pickup truck that is frost that is not supposed to happen
and what is it 35 or so it was it was right at freezing overnight just thought
I'd throw that in there to maybe make amends for the 78 degree video I did the
other day okay I got a day off and Jesus one day off it's not enough I'm gonna
have to give this company a little time to get used to me and see what kind of
work I do and then I'm gonna tell them I need two days off back-to-back or or
it's just not gonna work I'm working five six seven days and then they give
me a day off and then another five or six or seven and and you never know when
you're gonna get a day off so you can't make any plans anyway I'm gonna try to
get as much done I thought I could probably finish this but I'm just not
gonna rush it I've come this far and you know I just can't sleep unless I do
things to the best of my ability it might not be the best for any anyone
else but uh I'm not gonna cut any corners on this just so I can hurry up
and get it done so I may not finish this today and as a matter of fact it's
highly unlikely I'll completely finish it and I only like to do things once I
hate going back and redoing stuff just because I didn't do it right the first
time but this next clip my wife called me at work yesterday and of course I
pulled over to the edge of the road to answer the phone because I would never
talk on my cell phone going down the road and she said you're not gonna
believe what's just two feet outside the door or your chicken house and she told
me and I said you've got to get the camera and by the time she got the
camera and got back she only got about I don't know eight or ten seconds of
footage but look at this next clip apparently word has got out that BC
truck has a chicken buffet over here he was sitting the hawk was sitting just
right outside the door to the chicken house so I check out this next clip and
then after that I'm going to start working on the door that's gonna go
right there and I've got everything I need now I got
to weld some hinges and I'm gonna walk over that show you where but I've got to
look down so I don't stack up on dog poop that new dog of ours just hasn't
doesn't do what the other $2 the other two dogs go way out in the yard to do
their business and the new dog doesn't okay
I'm gonna weld some hinges on this pole and I hate dragging a welder and
generator out again but I got to do it it's the only way to attach them so
that's what I'm gonna do next and then
I'm gonna turn those two by fours into a gate along with some a piece of chicken
wire I got all right there that's enough to make gate out of and then yesterday I
picked up my other rolls of chicken wire and I've gotten my bird netting to go on
the roof but I got to put this wire up first because I'm gonna hold the bird
netting on with some zip ties cable ties and wire it's gonna get held on with
some baling wire all right get my tripod out and and have
a look at this next clip and then I'll start building on that door
alright there's the beginning of my door it's a 35 by 71 I got my last piece
marked out here then I'm gonna cut I'm cutting these 45 degrees on the ends and
then one and then I'm going to screw them just to hold them together long
enough for me to put some plywood corner gussets from here back and got some
plywood over there I'm gonna use there's a wide try not to throw nothing away cuz
that's just enough to do what I got to do here
alright I'm gonna put this on tripod and and give that a cut right there
okay now I'm going to cut my plywood for the corner and go around there and get
that chicken wire flip this over nail the chicken wire on the back and I have
a daughter all right I got the gussets cut corner brackets whatever you want to
call them I call them gussets I'm gonna scroll down and I did put my square on
this and check for square on both corners so I'm good to go
what it was in before powertools what do that so watch there so she'll
grab tools and screwdrivers and everything okay um pretty certain that
was very interesting it's right up there just to step above watching grass grow
so I'm gonna do the other end and turn it over and start spreading that chicken
wire okay I added a third piece there I just I was afraid the door would warp
over time and like I say I hate things doing things over so I try to do them
right the first time but right now my stomachs growling and I
gotta have a little breakfast oh man that looks good you think we got get
facts okay
thank you all right it's on there I just got to go all the way around this and
staple it real good and then cut the excess off and just wanted to say a word
to my friend norm norms green home norm lost family memory there's a four-legged
family member but a family member nonetheless and I just wanted to say
norm that my heart goes up to you man I feel your pain I felt that pain and uh I
know how important blue was to you and I'm real sorry I wish I could say more
but there's really nothing anyone can say besides that we're thinking about
Jen you're in our hearts and uh we're sorry for your loss all right now I've
dragged my welder out weld the hinges on to that T post and I can mount this gate
and that is actually the probably the most tedious and time-consuming part of
this job so on to bigger and better things
all right doors up
now drink me a soda and I think I want to start on this side I got attacked the
the far edge of that chicken wire up to that wooden pole there and then stretch
it out this way to this corner stretch it around here and then we'll do the
same thing on that side no I'm like I might get it done today there's still a
chance let me show you the little handle I made here I don't know if that's a
raccoon proof or not because they're pretty smart but uh we'll see well uh
gut oh I would say probably half way down here I got the top and the bottom
attached I may have another day off tomorrow on if I do absolutely certain I
can finish this now that I'm actually got this stretched out and attaching it
it's going pretty quick but uh it's a little after 4:00 now and I've been at
this since the crack of dawn and I'm a little tired let's see if I got it again
while I'm here coming in knock knock everybody decent
oh thank you baby you gave me two eggs can I get them you gonna pick me meereee
each other and grab them don't Peck me cuz I'll break the eggs thank you very
much alright somebody's gonna have omelette anymore thank you ma'am
