A blog on depression, keeping chickens and what ever catches my fancy.
Sunday, April 01, 2007
here is my chicken tractor. the bottom is 10X4 Pressure treated 2X4's held together with a L shaped metal brace. the ribs are 10' PVC schedule 40 pipes held on the outside of the frame with condiut clamps. the top mid rib is put on with outdoor rated zip ties. the chicken wire is green PVC coated wire held on with zip ties and stapled at the bottom. the tarps are camping tarps held on with bungee cords. This has taken me 2 days to do with no helpers. I probably could have gotten it finished in one day with help. I still have to fashion a door somehow. I think I'll use the PVC pipes bent into a U with elbow joints and a bottom piece. I can probably get the door to swing using zip ties but I'm not sure what kind of latch I can use. I have tomorrow off so I can probably get that finished then.
Welcome to my Blog, Weird Shit in Jars: Creation and Alchemy in Glass. Here you will find an assortment of ideas, experiments and transformations all taking place in the humble glass jar. I am an herbalist, former chef, soap maker, mother and general creatrix. I am curious, flexible, practical and pragmatic. I am NOT mystical, or a guru, I'm a city gal trying to grow where I'm planted and embrace the gifts of the planet in all of their forms.
In this blog you will get to see my journey and process through life in all it's glorious, messy and surprising Beauty. Sucesses and failures alike will be here because I love to create things and how best to learn than to make mistakes! This blog gets it's name from a friend whom upon viewing my alchemical endeavors said, " You sure have some weird shit in jars here." That I do, my friend, that I do.
