pretty isn't always necessary in farm life... in fact somethings function (ability to provide value) is more important than its form (aesthetic beauty). Today Hunter and I built another example of this principle. We built a portable area light for the ducks.
As you can see from the picture, this is the following:
An old tire and wheel
An old 10 foot wooden post
A few leftover 2x6
A broken extension cord
And a metal halide area light
Combine all this together and you get a sturdy yet portable light 10 feet in the air with a nice long cord. Add a outdoor timer and presto it becomes a automatic area light for the ducks.
Hopefully this will suffice to get them back to laying. A couple extra hours of daylight should do the trick.
So... it might not be pretty, but its certainly functional!
