A Work in Progress Nears Its Completion

Some readers of this blog probably find my posts about the chicken coop renovation project I started at the end of April mildly annoying. For this I apologize, both retroactively and in advance. Posting about the progress of a backyard hobby project really does seem rather pointless and trivial in the grand scheme of things, especially in light of all that has transpired over the past couple of months. With the exception of those who have some sort of innate interest in construction or renovation, I can't imagine anyone finding my chicken coop posts all that interesting or engaging. 

Yet as is the case with most things in life, I view my chicken coop renovation from an analogical perspective; and in my posts on the subject I have also, quite unsubtly, presented my work on this particular building through the lens of analogical reasoning. I will leave it to readers to draw their own specific analogies in connection with this project. With any luck, some of those analogies might deal with renewals of a different sort. 

Anyway, the coop was in a sadly dilapidated state when I committed to begin working on it . . .

 . . . but over the course of the past few weeks, I have managed to give it a new lease on life.  Unfortunately, I could only work on the building in fits and starts, as the weather and my other commitments would allow, which helps explain why it has taken me nearly a month to get to this point. All I have left to do now is build a new door. After that, I can officially call the project completed. 

Of course, some sort of fencing or wiring is still needed, and the interior remains unfinished, but I'll focus on all of that if and when I ever commit to obtaining chickens!
