In the attic

So, with the price of food going up and with backyard chicken raising becoming more popular in Sacramento Rachel and I have begun considering starting our own chicken farm.

However, with all of the cats in the neighborhood which could do harm to our little birdies, we were thinking of using some unused space in the attic. So, this weekend, I built a chicken coop:

 

I used leftover wood from my parent's old entertainment center and $30 worth of hardware cloth. 

Just kidding. 

It's actually a mouse proof storage bin for our ginormous Christmas Tree. This thing takes up serious space: 3 rubbermaid containers (which will go in the garage) a duffel, and 2 large IKEA bags.
