Here goes dad again....

I was on a camping trip for 5 days and when I came home I noticed some 4x4 posts in the ground next to my coop. My dad was the one coming over and caring for the chickens while I was away. I called him up and asked what his next plan was for my coop. He is making an addition onto the side to store feed and scratch and also my garden tools. He also informed me that he is extending the coop out two feet and adding nest boxes onto the outside of the coop for easier access for me and more room for the chickens. Then he told me to go into my garage and open up some big boxes he had out there. Inside was the most beautiful burgundy steel I had ever seen. I haven't been able to afford to side my coop due to the costs of canning this year (jars, lids, a new pressure canner, food mill). He went and bought the steel that I couldn't find anywhere or afford and will be siding my coop next week and finishing the addition. What would I do without my dad

Great Dad! I have a friend who is 87 years old is building me a chicken house (8x8) I already have two smaller ones! He insist that I need another one, so my yard will look like minature chicken apartments !!

Awww, I love your Dad Such a sweetie. As niinymary says, he is a treasure. (Can we clone him?)

He really is a great guy. I've been moved out of my parents's place since I was 18 but he still wants to hold on, even after all these years. I do have to admit though, him helping me with my chicken journey has made some of the best memories that I will cherish forever. He is extremely thoughtful and I wouldn't trade him for the world
