Chicken Pen

We started working on the old chicken pen this week. My wonderful Father-in-law built the first one three years ago when I so wanted to have chickens. The wood is rotted on the bottom and the coop's wood is also rotting on the bottom. Once again Tony has done a great job! It's amazing what a new nail gun does for a man! We spent the first day clearing out brush, a few trees and many dead limbs. Mathias stayed home one day with Tony and worked all day digging. They put wire around the base about one foot down to keep critters out. Keegan has been working hard, too, digging away! Everyone has had fun doing something to help whether digging, holding a light (the night we stayed out until 10pm), holding a board, etc. Thank you Dad Ball for teaching my husband how to work hard and be such a great handyman! I pray my sons will be hard working men for their families no matter what God's calling is on their lives.
