but they won't be there too often.
yeah, rodent resistant is about all i could claim for it, especially since body rot is part of why it is being retired. and this being a city farm, rats are a problem.

i may end up with a "farm dog" that would live there. some unwanted little jack or some such. not optimal, but better than the shelter. hopefully at some point we will be able to buy the in between property, and have a single spread.
