We (mostly Fred) have been working on a couple of projects during our "Shelter-At-Home" period. Fortunately, we both have been able to work our main jobs from home although Fred goes into the office one day a week right now. Montana has 14 Covid deaths and 445 known cases so far.
We got some chickens so we had to build a chicken coop. In the meantime we quickly built a simple brooder in the shop to keep them in.
Fred milled the lumber from old power poles that were given to us by the power company when they replaced some of the transmission line poles. They are untreated western red cedar. At the store a 1x7x8' western cedar board costs $42 so the poles are very valuable.
Fred and a helper planted over 300 hundred Aspen seedlings along the property this week.
