Help Me Rebuild My Dream!
Donation protected
For my birthday, my parents and my boyfriend gave me a little bit money to spend on whatever I wanted. They told me to go “pamper” myself – mani, pedi, spa type stuff – but I am not into the pampered lifestyle. I have never had a mani or pedi. Instead of blowing money of myself, I used the money to buy lumber to build a chicken coop.
It wasn't much to start with ... 10 ft x 5 ft plus nesting boxes. I kept working on it and making it better. (See my cat peeking out before I had the side finished?)
My cat made a good supervisor while I was working.
I was in the process of adding plywood to enclose the whole coop instead of having wire on the sides and top - I didn't even have a chance to take pictures before disaster struck.
On 7/23/2014, a freak storm blew through the Northwest Arkansas area – downing trees and taking roofs off of buildings with 70 mph winds. Unfortuantly, part of our buildings were damaged by Hickory trees falling.
My small chicken coop took the worst blow – completely squished when the top half of a tree came down on it. Luckily – I had not bought my chickens yet so no birds were harmed. I am very upset over my little chicken coop because I spent a lot of hours building it by myself. I had every thing set up and was ready to get my chickens this weekend. Another building that was damaged by falling Hickory limbs was our storage shed – the roof was smashed. Just my luck – neither building is covered under insurance.
Any funds raised will go toward replacing/rebuilding the chicken coop and storage building. Any excess funds will go toward repairs to other buildings - such as the well house and barn.
Instead of money, I would be more than happy to have lumber and other building supplies donated!!
Some of the items I am in need of:
3 or 6 treated 2x4s – at least 8 ft long (@ $4 each = $12 - $24)
18 non-treated 2x4s - 8 ft long (@ $3 each = $54)
12 (+/-) sheets of plywood (@ $25+ = $300)
roofing metal or shingles ($ = ?)
chain link fence and posts ($ = ?)
used pallets - in good shape ($ = ?)
