Today, I realized that we move in 9 weeks. Can I panic now?

Today, my favorite animal control officer (who likes us!) came by to tell me that someone has complained TWICE in the last few days (anonymously, of course) about the chickens.
The chickens run loose in my yard and my neighbor's yard (sanctioned by them, and everyone in our 'hood), so I have no idea who's been calling. She said the person just complains that they're out... Um, if they are in my yard, how the hell are they out?
I may have to build a chicken tractor next week before the conference, and I am not pleased.Wife to Family Medicine attending, Mom to DS1 and DS2

Thirteen I'll help you build a chicken tractor while I'm there if you'd like and we can wheel it around the neighborhood and park it in all the chicken hating neighbors' yards and when they complain say "but they're contained!

We used the Harmony paint from Sherwin Williams - they're having a huge sale right now and all the paint is 40% off, plus the supplies are 30% off.
ETA: Also - if you create an account at SW, you always get 10% off.Last edited by alotofyarn; 07-20-2013, 10:20 PM.Allison - professor; wife to a urology attending; mom to baby girl E (11/13), baby boy C (2/16), and a spoiled cat; knitter and hoarder of yarn; photographer

Any water-based paint is low-VOC. The expensive shit that they advertise as low-VOC has marginally fewer solvents. The biggest difference is that manufacturers omit the smellier additives so it doesn't stink as much. Water-based latex paints have almost no solvents. The smell is usually from various additives that make the paint perform better or make it easier to use.

I did help paint all of our shutters with regular latex paint and was fine (we had good ventilation), and I got other stuff that's not low VOC for some furniture and our front door. Partly, the paint we normally get wasn't included in the sale, so this was good quality stuff that we got at a good price.Allison - professor; wife to a urology attending; mom to baby girl E (11/13), baby boy C (2/16), and a spoiled cat; knitter and hoarder of yarn; photographer
