for the love of norm

oh for the love of norm...  you don't even know how awesome you are.

i vividly remember watching this old house with my dad when i was young and didn't know how helpful he would someday be when we would come to own our own old house...
for the record, adam doesn't have to watch him.  he already knows how to do most of the stuff we are working on... i just like to learn it on my own :)

chicken boxes, hot water heaters, and bunnies

 adam building chicken nesting boxes

 milk crate + linoleum tiles from the community forklift

ordered a tankless hot water heater to replace the old propane one that was here(we're eliminating the need for propane and going electric on everything) 

 thank you steibel

 adam's talents never cease to amaze me

 bradley the ever-available heavy lifter

bunnies tate found in the yard.  we assumed the mother would not come back for them so we did some research and started feeding them kitten milk replacer mixed with heavy whipping cream(rabbits nurse once a day for five minutes.  apparently rabbit milk has more calories than any other mammal).  then we did some more research and read that mother rabbits will come back for up to 10 days looking for their lost babies, so we put them back outside and the next morning she came and moved the entire nest!
