Look up, look way up, it's the new guinea coop
The guineas have a collective mind of their own, choosing different places to sleep every night. They used to like snuggling between the hay bales and the plastic, or perching on the top of the open screen door, which is funny. They've just moved up one better though, and are roosting on the top of the door header.

Patching the greenhouse
It appears that some raptor or another hit my greenhouse.Perhaps it was hoping for a chicken.
Planting in the greenhouse
However, when I raked away the chips from a swathe of dirt for a garden bed, the soil was dark and moist. Wow! Best of all, no sod! The hens took care of that this winter.
Screen doors
Made screen doors for the greenhouse, so now I can plant in it.You're evicted, chickens!

Greenhouse!
Got the greenhouse up! An inflatable with aluminum ribs and a steel ridgepole, it's a beautifully designed structure. It's my first GH, but I've seen a few, and I'm impressed with this one.
