An Old Fashioned Coop Raise

We have joked that this weekend was going to be like that scene from "Witness" (one of my favorite movies by the way). A lot of wood, straw hats and frosty lemonade.

August and his cousin Blair were on hand with serious digging equipment should we need it.



Cousin Jim helped Tim with the framing.



And up it goes... almost like Harrison Ford and Viggo Mortensen. Almost.



I of course played Kelly McGillis - the lemonade was cold and refreshing.



This has been a huge group effort thus far. Friends and family have all participated in getting this coop built. If only it were remotely close to being finished...
