HOLY SH--MOKE, Mo!
Just read the past few pages of this thread of yours and WOW...somebody hit it right with 'garden center' for sure! How awesome your place is, with the green houses going up and all the veggies and fruit. I am seriously jellous of your greenhouse projects and have been considering that myself, even have half the materials, lol. I do have the chickens for you---albeit I am not aware of any roosters that don't crow(worth a google?) and you'd figure there'd be someone out there de-crowing them. You must be in the city, and that is cool they allow any at all; seeing more and more of that lately. My old neighborhood North of Seattle became a 'city' and they grandfathered in the farm animals that were already there. Now it's all limited though, but I believe they can have roosters. I am currently looking for a good goat to run with my dogs, but need that for keeping all of our vegetation/stickers, etc,. trimmed back. This laptop I am on doesn't tab/return/enter on this site and a few others for some reason, so please excuse the 'never ending paragraph.' It sounds as though that was quite the experience in your attic...again. Stay the hell out of there, I am betting you will! Just wanted to swing in and see what you got going on....and it's overwhelming to say the least, surely a few nights of reading worth. And mad props to you and all you do and are doing!! +1 for sure Keep on keeping on, peace, gman
