1. Build a new chicken brooder

2. Research Gothic arch hoop houses

3. Get my plow truck out of storage because the weather guesser is calling for 22 inches of wet ❄️ overnight.

22 inches? How do you grow anything in Antarctica?

I'm really questioning my decision to leave Florida to move back home. This weather is terrible.

Back home? Did you get a job in Santa's workshop?

I could have....

My wife has a pretty sweet remote work gig and I worked out a couple seasonal gigs. The housing price was the deciding factor though. 3 bed 1.5 bath 1800 foot duplex on about an acre for $74k vs a 950 foot fixer upper for $300k on Florida's gulf coast.

Seriously I pay less for two housing units here than we'd have paid on hoa fees down there.

Wow. Where did you move to?

Upper peninsula of michigan

That's also the motivation for the hoop house. I figure I can steal another three months of growing season. 😆

We have a couple of months on each side of the growing season in the 50s with a few cold snaps. We'll see if it works.

Brooder is done!

It isn't pretty, but it was free. Kind of a funky size too, but ya gotta work with what ya got.

I will miss my workbench for the next couple of months though.
