There have already been [Part 1], [Part 2], [Part 3], [Part 4], [Part 5], [Part 6] and [Part 7] of the "Building THE Home" series.
You are welcome to read these before this one.

Building THE Home [Part 8]: Even slower

Talkin' to me?!

A lot of stuff came up these days so I'm a little slower on all lanes at the moment.
But nonetheless we're still doing some progress.
I forgot to take a pic of the master rock as I prommised in the Part 7...
I'll include it in the next one. ;)

Frank & Roosters

We had this situation with our mr. Duck.
About 3 weeks ago mr. Goat accidently broke his leg. :/
After a discussion with some neighbour master farmers I opened up my mini animal hospital. :D
They suggested I make 2 little sticks and bind them carefuly around the ducks broken leg.
Then leave him heal for 3 weeks with constant check-ups.

Poor poor Cmatscko

So we waited and then freed his leg...
I hoped it would heal faster.

"The set-up"

Funny feeling :)

By now his leg is not "gum" anymore. The area around the split has hardened up and he can use his leg now.
He is not the most agile yet, but we'll do some physiotherapy in the River near by soon. :)
He'll be fine. Got a little fat. :)

It took me 3 days to dig/cut a bush out of the hut....

Suffer much, broke some wood, destroyed some concrete...

The persuador

While trying to take out this incredibly stubborn variaton of the Cornus mas - tree a wild legless lizzard appeared. :)
Most probably an Anguis fragilis.

"Sorry mate, I'm taking your place"

"No prob bro, I was just leaving"

And I'll leave for today too. :)
The tree was dug out, but I didn't kill it. ;)
Recycle, reuse, relive!
I'll show it to you in my next report.

This is it for this one,
Thanx for reading and all the support!
