About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

You all are great --- an hour after Mark posts, he's already got comments!
Daddy --- very good point. Mark put the tin up there and then figured out the same thing --- it sagged a bit. So he went back in and added furring strips to support it. I took the photo before the upgrade, though.
Vester --- Lucy keeps predators away and we've never had any trouble with predation at all. That said, we don't want our chickens to be cold in a wind, so Mark's planning on stapling cardboard up on a lot of the walls on the inside to cut down drafts.
Is that an effect of the hilly country you live in?
Over here we sometimes get those nice storms blowing in from the North Sea where the rain more or less "falls" horizontally!
Everett --- Thanks! I always love what Mark cobbles together out of a handful of screws and some junk from the barn.
Roland --- It's more of a microclimate of our part of the mountains. Up on ridges, they get plenty of wind, but we're sheltered on three sides by hills and by trees on the fourth side, so it takes major storms to even stir up a breeze down here.
