I figure I’ll do something like this every so often.

What has been a category you created that really became useful to you or provided unexpected value?

As a first time homeowner, starting a Home Projects master category and slowly funding projects categorized beneath that.

So far, done a few small things. Chicken coup, vegetable planters, shade cloth cover over the patio. Lots of fun 😁

Chicken Coup: For ending the tyranny of the rooster! Chicken Coop: A place for raising chickens. 😂

I've always wanted a chicken coop, but my city doesn't allow it. Someday........someday.... How do you like it so far?!

I gotta try a home projects master category. Probably better than binning everything into the same category.

Haha that certainly is a typo 😅😅 No rooster to rebel against so I'm not sure what they're plotting 🤔

I can't see myself not having chickens anymore >_< Definitely a requirement for our next home, whenever that is. It's my first time raising chickens so I was surprised to find they have a lot of personality! They've become outdoor pets that give me a handful of eggs a day. I've made the huge mistake of naming them though. I haven't had to cull any yet but I'm dreading that day. For now though, they have about another year or so of egg laying.

Anyway, a fun experience. They're low maintenance and funny creatures.

Naming your chickens was the best move. My friend who has chickens 3D printed plastic arms that hang over their back. It’s hilarious to see them run around
