Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : My 5yo daughter was offered some recently hatched chicks from a learning exercise at her kindergarten. We live on a reasonable size property and we'd thought about getting layers a few times so I said sure. I got a heat lamp and used a large indoor cat enclosure we had. The 5 little chicks quite happily moved in to our lounge room.

I was casually talking at work about making or buying a chicken coop when a co-worker said to me "I have a half built coop at home that I never ended up needing, I'll finish it off and you pay for the materials. I'll actually be glad to get rid of it from behind my garage." Cool, I think, this co-worker is very hands on and I've seen heaps of his work in the past. He makes great stuff and takes pride in his work.

So this is where everything falls apart, weeks go by, I mention it to my workmate a few times but I don't want to harass him for doing me a favour. He keeps telling me he's working on it, even goes as far as saying he'll finish it on Friday and offers to deliver it on the weekend. He flakes, then he's on annual leave and tells me he'll work on it then. Bit he flakes again the following weekend. All the while the chickens are getting bigger and still living inside my house.

After about 2 monthhs of my wife yelling at me, i finally I have to pull the pin and buy a chicken coop. Now my workmate is upset that he's put more money into a coop he doesn't need (it's still not finished.)
Am I the asshole?
