Chicken Coop no more, now storage palace.

Image
 I've had this chicken coop that was supposedly a kids playhouse in the past, eh I don't see it. This is after I took the drywall and insulation out, more headroom is important to those of us who aren't short.  There are some straps that hold the roof on, so someone who did not work on the house did this coop. This is before, not a bad job of sheetrock, but had to go. Down below the window is a leftover from the guests who would break into this thing when the house was abandon. Kind of dark out today... Shelves made from the floor I bought for the other shed, never put the fancy floor in, so had leftover metal. Level with the window sill, and I used some fancy trim pieces for a shelf above the window and I've been looking for something to use those circle brackets decorations to put a shelf on. Now to sort the boxes of stuff I'm going to put in here.

 Que the iconic X-files theme..... What's that flying over there..... What does it have in it's teeth? I dunno. It's Woodsey Owl trying to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.... I have been hearing this guy/gal, late at night but this was about 6pm, so it was out hunting early...finally caught on digital.

It's been a while, but I still find the Precious......

Trip to Bangs...Pop 1500er so....

 It was supposed to be overcast maybe even some rain on saturday, it wasn't, it was hot the whole way there. I filled up bags of cans to recycle, it's a very cheap hobby, that pays, and best of all I found over three pounds of copper, and a handful of brass. Did a good deed, returned a debit card to the Texas Bank location, looked like someone was pulling that magical device out of her pocket and the debit card fell to the ground....I assume the bank people picked it up when they were unlocking the doors on monday. Also found a leather toolbag, with tools in it. This is the hill to get out of Brownwood, as the city is in kind of a bowl that creates sort of a weather bubble to keep the rain out. This is the green sign you can barely see in the first pic. Made it, 9ish miles, not much to see, was looking for those junk stores that were there when I first rode past, they weren't open.  Didn't find my fellow dumpster diver's place either. Here's the toolbag, I gave ...

Chicken coop new coop....

 There was all this wasted space under the chicken coop playhouse thing the previous people left behind, so I re did the Cross X Members and put them on the inside. Then using the old wood I haven't gotten rid of I walled up three sides and made a flip up door for one side, the goal is to put the table saw and the miter saw under there, since I don't use them much, dry, and locked up with bike locks, plus all the stuff you need to use the saws are in a bin hidden in the house.   So steal the saw, they worthless without the goodies. It was hot, really hot, heat stress was a constant during getting this done this weekend. Back side Back side I haven't finished the trim over the corners This is the flip up door. Dead on front, yes I need a step. Front from an angle.
