The chicks will be 5 weeks old on Saturday March 25 and are ready to get out of my office and into their own coop and run.
Day one of the project is here:

Tomorrow I just have to do a few finishing touches then we can release the 8 chicks into their new home. When they get close to 8 weeks old I'll remove the divider to the main run and let all 13 chickens hang out together.
This video is poorly edited, and is not a step by step tutorial, cuz when I'm doing a project filming is secondary to getting stuff done.
If you have any questions about this build, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you promptly.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Finally got the upper branch down.
I had the cable originally hooked too close to the cut, and past attempts at pulling it down with the Dodge failed miserably. Today I launched another arrow over the tree and moved the cable out towards the end of the branch.
That gave enough leverage for the Dodge to be able to finally snap it.
Raw security camera video is posted in Part 6.
You can see that the Pocket Chainsaw made it about 80% thru the branch before getting hung up.
Also, one of the company's posts showed up on my feed on Facebook, and I made a comment stating that mine was still stuck up 30 feet in a tree. Within minutes the company owner messaged me and is sending a replacement. Great customer service there, and a nice guy. He took a look at my other videos too, just to see how his product performed.

I'll post a follow up review after I get the fallen tree cleared and cool down a bit.

Just a short video showing the mast all set up and one of the new 17 foot end poles that I've set up using the same technique of chain link fence top rails and 1.25 inch PVC.

I got an email asking if I would 'Feature' this product in a video.
I replied with a warning that if they were junk I wouldn't hide that fact and the folks at Hisim sent me what you see in this video.
The kit contains 9 cups, 9 PVC Tees, 9 Nipples and a drill bit, not a bad deal for $17.
I purchased 5 of the Lil Clucker brand about 9 months ago. 2 of them started leaking and one was destroyed by a spastic rooster. I had hoped that these would be a good cheap alternative to recommend to my channel.
The PVC Tess and Nipples are mostly fine, however 3 of the cups that I installed were bad on the day of install. 2 would not shut off, and one was squirting a stream of water over the top of the cup.
A 33% failure rate on the date of install is not something I can recommend.
@LilClucker you win again.

I tried two different sets of locks that did not fit the latch on my new metal garage / storage building. I was about to break out the angle grinder and do some hard edits to the latch, but I was able to fix the issue with a pair of pliers.

Heard stomping on my deck and dogs started barking. Latino male, blue sweatshirt, ran up my backyard being chased by Anderson Sheriff's deputy.
Suspect ran into the pool area and jumped the fence. Cops are still circling the area looking for the suspect.
Best image of him is in the final snip from the security cameras.
