Use What You Have!

My friend Brent really wants backyard chickens.  He bought a used coop that ended up just being a nightmare.  I went over to his place to help him work on it and it didn't take long for us to realize that there was no way to fix the thing in the few hours that we had!  We decided to take a drive to see if there was a new one in town that he could buy.  After seeing the prices there was no way I was going to let him go down that road!  Going into debt for fresh eggs is ridiculous!  

I had him tow the coop to my house where I could work on it over the course of a couple weeks and I'm really pleased with how it turned out! 

Here are some before and afters:

Dip ladyfingers into coffee-rum mixture and lay in rows in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top. Make one more layer of ladyfinge

I've been trying to keep busy in between bouts of introspection and the craziness that comes with moving on, actually moving, divorce, and all the rest of life's craziness and decisions.  Working on this recycled paper basket has helped me pass the time at work.
