And now you will like a kid with a hammer where everything is a nail🤣👍
You will go out of your way to find reason to use it!
They open a new world of fastening....sheet goods, face frames, even dimensional lumber!

It's crazy, the same folks that help themselves to the soda fountain, walk into the table area and then hang outside the building.

A motorcycle crashed into the cow pasture fence up the road. They had a white sheet laid out. Pray for the family

Found out it was a lady that wrecked. Married with a daughter in the 4th grade. She was also an Iraq Veteran. Still no details on what happened. Gosh I hope she didn’t catch the barb wire that was on top. Either way still tragic
 
Little after hours fun today.

I rebuilt this Stevens 220A 12g; it was a basket case when I received it. The only part I did not remove was the bbl/forend pivot pin. Finally got to try it out.

Fired a mixed bag...er, box of shells.
Stevens 220A 1st shots on Rebuild.jpg

Federal 2-3/4" #8 birdshot, Remington 2-3/4" #6 birdshot, Challenger 1-3/4" # 7,5 birdshot, Zala 1-3/4" mini slug, Sterling 2-3/4" slug, 2-3/4" #7 birdshot over 60gr FFg Schuetzen BP, and 2-3/4" 24-pellet #4 buffered buckshot over 60gr FFg Scheutzen BP.

Targets were 9" paper plates on a stick at 15yds and 25 yds (approximate). I forgot to bring or scrounge a big piece of cardboard, so it was difficult to distinguish POI vs. spread, but all loads performed adequately.

The first shot - #8 Federal 2-3/4" - NAILED the 15 yd target, blew the top of the stick off, and sent the plate flying. Sadly, no pic.

#4 buck BP handload @ 25 yds. Meh. Needs work. (Bigger holes; all the wee ones were from an earlier #7,5 Quebecian blast.)

Zala mini slug @ 25yds. That'll do.

Y’all might be tired of these coop pics, but I promise I’m tired-er of working on it. 🤣

Busted butt for two days and got both roofs sheated and tar papered with drip edging. All nails hand-whacked just like our forefathers used to do it.

Woodpeckers? This fella came to visit a week or so ago. The coloring of them reminded me of it. Blurry screenshot from a video I’d taken.

Pileated woodpeckers.
Watched for 10 minutes or so.
They would jump around each other spreading their wings.
Hopped all over between a large tree and the woodpile.

Ring-necked Pheasant Overview, All About Birds, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Ring-necked Pheasants stride across open fields and weedy roadsides in the U.S. and southern Canada. Males sport iridescent copper-and-gold plumage, a red face, and a crisp white collar; their rooster-like crowing can be heard from up to a mile away. The brown females blend in with their field...

Nice!

This is the point where I would have stopped and told the kids "The playhouse is done!"

My wife tried to get me to build a chicken coop once but I put my foot down with a big, fat "NO!" on that one.

My wife is big on projects but short on follow-up on her part with care and upkeep. Which means it either become my responsibility afterwards or it simply falls into rot and disorder. See my Garden of Eden thread to see what I mean.

I'll build a lot of stuff for her, and let her kill all the plants she wants. But I will NOT build a chicken coop and let a bunch of chickens be abused to death through neglect.

Clumsy Robin! (Maybe I should check the undercarriage for a nest.)

I'm pretty persistent with the Carolina Wrens removing nests in the garage and around the house. Once I find eggs, I can't do it. I figure that was on me for not seeing it. I found some this weekend in a box of house HVAC filters in the garage. 3 eggs so I guess we will see. We had them in the garage a few years ago and the babies crapped on everything while learning to fly.

We have 2 Robbins nests in the backyard I have seen this year with eggs in it.
