Hello lovely lady! :D

Oh, my land, I always feel exhausted and impressed with how much you get done in a day, every time I read your posts. LOL! 😊

I feel like I've accomplished something when I get out of bed in the morning and get the barn and house chores done. Heck on the damp and rainy days I'm impressed when I make it out of bed at all. LOL! 😊

When you say "hardware cloth boxes", what do you mean? We're trying to come up with a good way to store ours and keep the mice away here too, so any ideas or tips are appreciated. 😊

Enjoy the fair, the company and the band! 😊

God bless you and your wonderful family. &#128522 Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊

Sort:  

They will be built of leftover scraps, hopefully 1" x 2" or 2" x 2" for support on sides, top, and bottom. They will measure about 3' x 1' x 1' roughly. We will wrap hardware cloth around the outside, stapling it in place. Then a lid, made somehow that the mice can't open it. I have shelving going over the potato box and the sand box that the boxes can sit on.

This is hardware cloth:

aw. My political family has made a chicken coop this summer so enjoying happy eggs now

Oh cool, that sounds like it will work quite nicely. I'll have to mention it to my handsome husband. Thank you. 😊
