Peter Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 In the mornings at 8am I get out of bed and dressed in only my under pants I go out side to the fence and pull the cord which opens the coop door then I go back to bed, but this morning it was so cold -6 degrees, I new I could not go on so I set to work on making life easy. I extended the cord into the house so now at 8am I just lean out of bed and pull the cord to led them out. Is that me being lazy or am I a genius.

mullethunter Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Peter that’s brilliant!!! I had a book when I was a child about a boy who collected a big ball of string, and when he broke his leg he rigged up loads of pulleys and things to do everything without leaving his bed- I’ve always wanted to recreate it and you have started! I am slightly concerned about the hole you’ve made in your wall though 😳 However I do now have an image in my head of your neighbours rolling their eyes at you outside in your pants every morning 🤣 Perhaps the Omlet forum should club together to get you a dressing gown 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 That's a great idea Peter, but you still have to go outside to defrost the drinker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 No. I have made a water heater to do that. I will put it on this site next week. From Peter tucked up in bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
