But I kept being optimistic. The typhoon was slow and would reach our latitude on Tuesday afternoon.
Friday came and the weather was cloudy. Typhoon's path and timing prediction had not changed. I was ready for action.
Saturday, still same prediction. Typhoon was still way south and would be around here on Tuesday afternoon. I finished the netting on the coop when it suddenly started raining and kept all day which meant I could not do any more building. Instead I spent the whole day gardening defiantly, getting completely soaking wet and catching a cold. Sunday was completely rainy too.
The typhoon surprised everyone and came much earlier than anticipated and passed us on the night of Monday. So the Monday was super nice and sunny. I got a bit of building done.
The steps are the most random part |
It still has leaves on it... |
I was pretty sick for a couple of days more, so not much building got done... whenever I felt better and the sun was shining I took a walk out and did a little bit.
Little by little, the coop is almost finished. What remains is the door, the window, the nest lid and the final paining.
I managed to put on base paint on the walls and the roof too. |
The floor is two boards with two layers of plastic sheet between. |
Now, the weather forecast for this weekend says cloudy with a bit of rain. But I guess it will not be anywhere near last weekend.
By the way, building the coop is a real workout, and I have lost lots of fat and feel great overall.
