With the work going on in the chicken yard one of the bigger things that needed to be done is covering the grounds with gravel. With the large area of sloppiness, gravel is very important in this section of the grounds. Of course because of the size of the area, just like with the driveway its going to take a large number of loads to fully cover this area as intended. I've already been dumping gravel down in some key areas and am spreading out from those areas to gain more coverage. The area in question this time is the area just behind the Chicken Truck and to the left of said truck. Behind the truck is a large super sloppy area that will suck a shoe off your foot if you step in the right muddy spot. The areas around the truck aren't sloppy but I may as well go ahead and cover them up since they are around the truck and eventually cleaning mulch out and possible water leakage will make the ground soggy. Better to get it addressed before it becomes an actual problem. In addition to getting the gravel out, there was more firewood to be processed. After having done a load of wood recently, We had another stack that needed cutting and splitting. Making up another pile of wood, we've expanded the firewood piles to the point that firewood is being stacked further and further away from the original firewood shed. Of course this means that we will never want for firewood for any reason in any case. This load was cut shorter as some pieces were a little too long for the stove and the splitter made more work of the wider logs. With this stuff done the next thing that will be worked on is making the gates for the chicken yard. We have the gate kits in hand plus the necessary wood (2x4's and fence pickets) so now we can work towards closing in this area so the chickens can be free ranged within the yard safely.
