Yes- you read that correctly. A do it yourself chicken coop for UNDER $70. The first thing we did was hit up our second home... Home Depot ( I have been to Home Depot more in the last 6 months than a normal person should in their lifetime ). Anyways... we went to Home Depot and bought ten 2 in.x 2 in.x 8ft. ( $2.09 a board ) We knew we wanted the coop to be 4ft x 4ft x 8ft. We used our saw to cut some of the boards in half. Then started to build the frame. We did two 4ft x 8ft frames first. Then we brought them outside and started to build the rest of the frame. We ended up adding another board in the middle on both sides and the top for more support and to have something to connect the chicken wire to. I was only able to find a 2ft by 50ft rolls of chicken wire. The 4ft would have been ideal but I ended up just buying two of the 2ft. I used wire cutters ( at least I think that is what they are ). The rolls were $16.00 a piece from Walmart. Home Depot ha
If you love smoked meats, and you love salmon then you have come to the right place!! My fiance is the best smoker in the state of Idaho! (He is the best everything 😊 ) Right now we have a Bradley smoker that I bought at Cabela's one Christmas. It is a really great smoker for those just starting out. Our smoker uses bisquettes that come in a variety of different flavors ( honestly they all taste the same to me ). For this smoke sesh we used the Whiskey Oak bisquettes. I just buy my salmon from Walmart after it has been discounted or whenever we want some of this smoked deliciousness. My fiance makes an amazing rub ( recipe below ), then he throws the freshly rubbed salmon in the smoker for about 45 minutes ( sometimes longer depending on the thickness of the fillet ) THE AMAZING, SUPER-SECRET RUB For 2 lbs of salmon you will need: 2 TBSP brown sugar ( light or dark ) 1 TSP of Salt 1 TSP of Pepper 2 TBSP of pickle juice THAT'S IT!!
