    Default Our latest find, really good!

    We needed about 14 ft. of chain link fence to finish one side of a chicken run hubby and SIL and grandsons were building me. Something (I believe it was God) just kept "telling" me to go to this dumpster near where our beloved ex-DIL and grandsons live. We were down there picking up a lawn mower hubby is working on for her and went by the dumpsters. I looked over and at the edge of the fenced area is a metal dumpster. On top was a bunch of chain link fence someone had discarded. The manager of the dumpster site told me when I asked that they were not supposed to let people take stuff from that bin, but said I could get the fence. It was more than enough to finish the run for our chickens! PTL for providing our need.
