The chicken coop is complete! It's been a lot of work, especially over the last few months, but it feels awesome to have the project completed.

One of these months, I'll get back to doing these updates before the last week of the following month. Clearly, I'm not there yet though, as we're a week away from June now. Thanks to the accountability of promising that I would update here publicly, I still make sure to go through our spending in…
