I thought you might enjoy this picture.
The guy who found my 69″ Ford grain truck for me asked me to replace his patio door.
He knew it was rotten underneath.
Anyway he has a metal deck, which you will see in the picture.

We had the door and the exterior done the 1st day.
We have the interior trim and the sloped oak sill (1x6) made and finished in the shop.
I haven't been out there to install them yet.
I thought more folks would enjoy the interesting choice of decking material.
I will attach a pic of the chickens made from railroad spikes that he has on the fence.
You can see part of the deck in the background. And the door project as we were leaving for noon.

I recognize that pic from a BossHog reference thread a few days back if I recall correctly.
Gotta appreciate creativity.

That's right.
We just thought that was so funny.

I guess the chicken is better use of the spikes than a land fill, but I'd rather have a neighbor with the real deal. Reminds me of the guy with a large mouth bass for a mailbox, or a golf ball. Should be banned from the landscape.
I had the real deal. Guess somebody didn't appreciate the beauty of a crowing rooster and clucking hens, so the city ordered me t get rid of them. Funny thing is several people told me how much they missed them. One neighbor said it was hard for her to get up in the morning because she didn't hear my rooster. They were very pretty birds (black australorps) and I think the young girls who got them were planning to put them in the county fair.Maybe I should weld up a fake one too.
My current neighbor has about 20+ chickens but we do restrict her to just the one rooster. He is one busy boy, fast too. They spend alot of time in my yard at the bird feed areas, and hopefully eating bugs out of my lawn. Don't know what kind they are but the rooster is a beautiful bird.
One rooster is all that is practical. Otherwise they usually fight. I find them relaxing to watch, and my birds were very attractive. They were pets, but I did get a lot of eggs to eat. The city did not buy the pet argument. I guess someone complained because the fellow that gave me the chicks lives several houses away and he was not cited. He likes to hatch out birds, you never know what he will have. Turkeys, chickens, pigeons, guineas, peacocks, bantams, pheasants, ducks, geese etc. He usually gives them away as they get older, or takes them to his mothers farm. He used to keep homing pigeons here and about 100 miles away at the farm. He would take some birds to the farm and release them, and bring some back home to release. Usually took a couple hours for the birds to return home.
"Maybe I should weld up a fake one too."Put a speaker on it.Record a rooster crowing, and play it loud and clear, for about 10 minutes every morning, through that speaker.
