Miter Saw

We got a new compound miter saw at Harbor Freight. I tested it out right away and built some cage frames and raised plant beds. I'm sure it will be getting a workout on a regular basis.

 The new saw in action.

 Assembling the raised garden bed. The plan is to have four of them.

 I got two made this week. They look like a couple of coffins out in the yard. We need to get dirt in them and some flowers. The back one will have the strawberries in it.

 The 4x4s are embedded in the ground 7" to help stabilize the boxes. We'll fill them with topsoil and compost.

 I assembled the ends first then added the side boards.

 The ducklings are doing well. The weather has been nice so they got to come outside.

  The girls have been enjoying the nice weather too.

 Ducklings are much smarter than chicks. They can be herded. Luna noticed the herding factor.

Chicks would never be able to walk a ramp like this. They are in the stall now, they got too big to stay in the wagon. Harvey and Beavis have to share at feeding time.

 Lisa set up a corral for them outside of the stall. They escaped from it within a few minutes. They didn't leave the barnyard.

 Lisa is herding them back into the corral.

 The duckling herd. They escaped again later when the sheep came up. They stayed in the barnyard then too.

  There is a nice puddle in the corral where the water drips off of the roof. Ducks like puddles. They are going to love the pond when they get big.

  1. The raised beds look great and the ducklings are really cute. We are trying to work out a spring break visit, but it will depend on whether or not Marianne has to work.
