Comments (2)Welcome to the forum! :) What kind of outdoor coop or pens do you have? It would help to know your setup... I take my young birds that are not old enough to be outdoors full-time, out for short 20-30 minute stints every day, while I sit very close by and guard them. I'll take goodies along with me and go into the coop and do my 'food' call--I use the old standy-by, 'chick-chick-chick'--and pass the goodies out in there. It cements the idea that the coop is a good place with food in their little heads. Taking them out for a few short stints gets them slowly used to being outdoors without older birds being a threat, and they learn where they live a little easier that way. I release my young chickens out into the flock full-time at the age of 2 months. Velvet ~:>...See MoreHello! So glad to have found this forum!
Comments (3)Welcome ZGoddess! We're very happy to have you here! We would LOVE to see pictures of your projects. A good number of us use photobucket to post our pictures.

Then you can paste it directly into your post. Hope that makes sense! I look forward to seeing your work!...See MoreI'm new here
Comments (5)Thanks Deb and Digger. Thanks for the welcome. Your pictures are gorgeous! I have lots of other flowers, but hope to have tons of roses soon. I have painted for 64 years and definitely need a "Little Artist" in my garden. How big does that one get? Here's my pink Mini that I love(foggy morning) I had trimmed it back some to get a re-bloom. First bloom is prettier. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreNew to the Forum...Basic Questions
Comments (3)If you have friends that can help and you have some extra time along with internet access.. you don't need A GC. As for the permit... that's been argued allll over the internet. Technically, and by-the-book, YES. Someone that knows everything about everything wants to make sure all work is done 'correctly' and you're not screwed/ripped off. Their view might be different than yours and if it is, you will have to change your plans. (ie: plumbing on an outside wall) Your property taxes will most likely be raised as a result. Your home will be nicer so technically, it IS fair. You have 'nicer' so you give 'more'. As for how much more.... no idea. In these economic times, I don't know what 'fair' is. If you get caught not having a permit, there will be fines and the cost of the permit itself will at least double. The inspector will know that you tried to avoid inspection and they will grow an extra eyeball and be super-picky (at least that's what happens in my town of 36,000)....See More- 9 years ago
