Same here--gone one week in every month for 2/3 of year--would like to raise chickens but the absence issue.....if I can get husband (builder of associated carpentry) on board would ask neighbors if willing to be part of project

Thanks--he is much more than 'handy'---problem is his Forester w roof rack died, he has been unwilling to replace, and my little car cannot hold any 55 gal drums---have been looking into that piece for over a year. We do have a springhouse with water in it much of year--I have a submersible pump, can pump out water, but cannot pump it into anything without a barrel---which requires the vehicle to transport it (can get such barrels cheap 500 miles north (location for being away each month) , but hideously $$$ where I 'live' so renting a $19/hour truck from Lowes isn't realistic
Re-reading your post I realize what you are actually telling me--thank you very much! I may come back to you for more info (I hope I will have reason to!)
