Partway through clearing the first corner, I actually remembered to take some “before” photos of the barn. We have just sort of been putting things out here, and other people have been putting things out here (mostly my parents) and avoiding dealing with it, but we’re finally ready to build the quail pen in the back portion of the 1st photo, which means we need to do some serious cleaning out of all of this crap.
So, I rented a dumpster and we’ve been going at it.
The area in the third photo we’re going to turn into storage for the various carriers and animal crates we have. The right hand wall of the first photo and the open space to the right hand side of the second photo we’re going to clear out and install shelving. I’m ordering food dispenser units (for 40lbs of feed) that can hang on a wall for storing our scratch grains and pigeon feed and such because the wild mice keep chewing into the bags. Weirdly they leave the processed food alone so we’ll probably leave that on shelves and use as needed. The pen is going to go where that big silver rack is in the back of the first photo, and that will be getting moved to the area at the back of the 2nd photo.
Overall it should, over the next few weeks, become a lot cleaner and more organized.
