Chickens for your daily egg consumption or just for their meat? What are you growing in your yard for veggies and or fruit or (??) cause it seems you’re only shy a butcher from being somewhat self sufficient?
I’m guessing the coop is in some sort of wheels so you can hook it up and move it from one place to another?

drives, we got 15 new egg layers and then 75 Meat birds this spring and they are all in the Meat bird coop at the moment but the 15 egg layers are 3 weeks older than the meat birds so they are starting to pick on them and being bullies. So those 15 are gonna get moved to this Temp Coop. till they are then big enough to blend into the 40 or so regular egg layers that we have.
and this will also serve as the isolation unit going foward if we have 2 or more that are sick and need to be put in quartine to prevent the rest of the flock getting it as well.
I have a single rabbit hutch that serves as my isolation unit. if needed. but I had no way to house more than 1 at a time if needed.
This will serve as that If I need to have a seperate unit of birds self contained.
It is just sitting on some old telephone poles. I can drag it around with the truck to where I want it to be. Its to heavy for the ATV's to move.
or that is the plan this week, check back next week might be a different plan all together.

Kids had some friends over so they set up a impromptu Card gaming party in the other room from where I am gonna clean. 
OP

That was my thought,
I had to clean out the main room for a family function we had 22 people over and had a meal. First Time in many years all the wife brothers and sister and husban's ex wifes etc.... in the same room and some of them don't get along the best. but made it threw that and since the main room was clean and had tables set up. I thought Im gonna put away chairs and then clean out the little office and put all that stuff on tables and then only put back in the little office what I want and gonna put some more shelves up in the little office when I get it cleaned out.
Gonna move a cubbie shelf to behind the door and put roller tool box along the wall and then goal is to be able to walk into little office and be able to get to any 1 thing on the shelf with out having to move 3 to 7 things to be able to reach the said item.
This has been on my to due list a long time and I think each winter I'll get it done when its super cold but then I never have room in the big shop room to temp put stuff as its already full of ATV's with Plow's and a winter Garden Tractor Project.
Right now the ATV's and garden tractors are in the big garage and the old 78 Ford is sitting outside for a week or 2 till I get this done and then ATV's and JD 140's can come back to the workshop.
posting this as then I'll feel I am on a time frame to find time to work on this. It just needs Time and Ambition there's no $ in getting this done. Well I guess the $ for the AC to run but that is a cost to have the shop and me working on something when the temp is above 90.!!

I thought my 3 or four extra hitch balls was a lot. Guess not.
OP

2 of 2 5/16
4 of 2" plus below there's 2 extra hitch with 2" balls on the shelf below.
5 of the 1 7/8
All the atvs have 2" balls
John Deere 140 front hitch is 1 7/8 I think. I have 1 trailer that is 1 7/8 all others are 2" only reason for old ball is I have not swapped it to 2" it was a free trailer and it just full of scarp wood from build projects it gets pulled to project build spot and sets there for 3 months till it goes to next spot via the 140 front hitch so I can use the front hitch to move either my odd ball trailer or any of the others at 2" as well I'm not going far or fast when stuff hooked to the front it's more about precise placing of said trailer. How i ended up with some many 1 7/8 i don't know must have gotten them with other things. Need to sell them on spring garage sale.
Only need 1 or 2 small balls!

Oh it's easy to clean other people's places it's so so much easier to just pitch there stuff as I have no plans or maybe a use for your stuff. We'll cept i might think hey I'll use that. Someday and end up with it myself. Is your bench area air conditioned? I dont due flat area clean up in hot and humid. I just get grumpy and srltuff gets tossed then I'm mad at myself later when I could have really used what I had saved forv3 plus yearsxand tossed 3cweeks ago.

Well then I'm stating home and cleaning my own shop! I'll put in a word with Robin to add shop AC to your need to due list. Just a wall unit is fine no need for a fancy central AC. And this project has a 10 stich limit as well!

While you’re fixing some of your FSD issues by making more flat surfaces in the wall keep your eyes out for old hardware store rotobins and file cabinets with small drawers that really come in handy for organizing stuff.
One day you’ve got a foot of snow and the next you’ve got 100 degree AC issues. There’s always trade offs to living in a great location with acreage and shop space so since your location looks to be paradise for you and your family I wish you the best.
Have you made buttermilk pancakes yet so you can use some of that syrup?
