Shortly after we started moving things in Mr. Neighbor decided that he was going to stay with his brother in Wisconsin for a month to see if any of his health issues improved. We watered his plants and vegetables while he was gone. Since he had hinted that he might move to Wisconsin permanently before he left it was no surprise when he came back at the end of the month and started packing. He said that his health hadn't really improved but he had decided that he wanted to live near his brother. After he was gone it was decided that we would take dominion over the other trailer too and use them both to live in (one for our daughters and one for Mom, Dad and Sons #4, 5 and 6). Thankfully this trailer is in better shape but still needs a lot of work before winter sets in. It will be our daughter's home. What a beauty, huh?
This is the official "Before" picture
The insulation was only about 1/2 inch thick!!!
We are planning to add on to the studs and put in new insulation. We will also do the same for the ceiling. I'll be posting progress on all that.
The first time we met our former neighbor he let us know that the huge tire in the yard was off limits. He had flower bulbs planted there, he explained. Elephant ears and Cannas. When he moved he let me have them. :-)
Remember back in early May when we got these little cuties?
Now here they are all grown up in the "Chicken Tractor". They should star laying later this month. Yay!!
This is the garlic to mince and dehydrate.
I saved the best of it all to replant later this fall.
Maybe someday I will have enough to sell some of
"Travis Weedman's Garlic"
for those who are really missing him.

It's fun and satisfying to see things after they are fixed up and AFTER our labor. I think you'll do wonderful things with the project.
I love the little chicken coop!
You have been in my prayers!
