I'm still pretty much in the pattern of keeping with Thur night as my unofficial night off from domestic tasks. But only with limited success tonight.
I was trying to close up part of the west wall of the solarium. However, I am also trying to train the dogs to crap somewhere else. Would rather not completely close the solarium and have their odor so strong I can't walk into the solarium without throwing up. So, when I fed the dogs, I blocked the door. Few minutes later, The dogs were trying to force their way past me through the open area I was working on. I wound up having to stand and block them instead of getting much done. However, I was victorious.
Tomorrow, I need to apply a strong mixture of oxidizing cleaner, acid and ammonia and water it in extremely well during lunch to eliminate the odor in the soil. Have to get them completely used to going somewhere else.
Got the picnic table moved into the solarium. That wasn't easy. Picked up all the stuff the dogs have torn to pieces and any items like scrap wood that the dogs use to crap on top of to keep the poop off the soil surface. They even crap on top of their own toys.
Poop wars. Ugh.
Well, the extension to the solarium firmly places the dryer vent inside the solarium. It was right at the edge last year and should have blown inside the solarium. But that side of the solarium had a sheet of sheathing which directed the air flow. The dogs kept pushing past the sheathing and displacing it, so it wound up blowing outside and doing no good at all. So, that's no longer an issue because the vent is several feet from the outer wall now.
Sad to say the chicken ran away. I should have clipped her wings but wanted to let her have an escape in case a cat or the dogs got in the garden and went after her. I haven't found any feathers or signs she was attacked, so she flew the coop. I hope she comes back. I do get emotionally attached to calmer animals. (Not so much to destructive ones.)
