A New Metal Roof On The Peafowl Pen

For a long time I wished for a better roof over the peafowl pen.  Every time it rained, the water poured through the boards and turned the pen into a muddy morass.  The peafowl’s food got wet, and then they wouldn’t eat it so it had to be thrown out.

Saturday The Farmer fixed the roof.  (Or at least we hope he did!)

He had some sheet metal panels to put over the old boards.  Unfortunately, he couldn’t find the washered roofing nails he usually uses for these kinds of projects, so had to use a different sort of nail.  Hopefully, there won’t be any leaks around the nails.

He’s really doing great with those new knees to be able to go up and down ladders and crawl around over roof tops!

At any rate, the new roof should be a vast improvement.  Even if it still has a few leaks, it won’t be anything like what was pouring through the warped boards now underneath the sheet metal!

The metal wasn’t long enough to cover the entire roof, but it’s over their two perching sites and the food bowl, so that’s the main thing.

I guess the next time it rains, we’ll find out just how big an improvement it is!
