Getting Ducks in a Row | Port Protection

We're trying to make a better life, not just for us, but also the community. What a day! Beautiful, isn't it? Oh, you dumped that tote. That's cool! Yeah, I got rid of that. Thank you!

After a year of planning and weeks of hard work, Hans and Timmy Porter's Duck Farm is almost ready to provide their community with eggs. They're now racing to finish before Gary returns with their ducks. Today, we have to build a duck paddock. A duck paddock is the outside enclosure that they're going to have. We want to make it a nice habitat for them, and we also want to make it a safe habitat.

Holy cow, that thing is huge! This is definitely not an easy project. There's a lot of little details that we still need to finish up on before the ducklings get here. What we're trying to do here is we're digging down behind this board, underneath at about 6 to 8 inches, then we're going to take and put some metal roofing up against this, and that'll keep all those critters out of our pen during the daytime.

Pretty nice having a left-handed friend, huh? The only way I can really foresee us getting this project finished in time is to rely on the folks who have helped me in the past. They've been a godsend for us. They've really saved us. They've done things that Timmy and I never would have been able to do by ourselves.

I bet this would be a lot like what dragging a dead body around would be like. We got a really good team here today, and I'm looking forward to seeing what we accomplish together.

So, Hans, where do you need me?

Well, I think we're getting ready. Hold the ladder while somebody else... There you go! I'm a good holder! I love you!

What you think, girl? It's going to help the whole community, you know? And we're all going to get eggs out of it. Personally, I've never tried duck eggs, but I'll try anything once; if I like it, twice.
