They added hardware cloth to the base of the chicken coop to keep the chickens from getting under the coop and laying eggs. Read here about that time. Plus it keeps other things out. Previously I had just stacked up old bricks and boards around the bottom but it wasn't ideal. They buried the hardware cloth a few inches and then put the bricks and board along the edge.
They also removed the side hatch and replaced it with plain metal sheeting. The hatch had originally been designed to gather eggs. But I have learned that the chickens don't always lay eggs in the nesting boxes. So I have to step inside the coop every day anyway to gather eggs.
The old wood on a couple of the raised beds was beginning to rot and fall apart. So they replaced several sections to keep them together.
Likewise, the compost bin that was made from the same old wood from the original deck was rotting and falling apart. So they replaced that too.
And again, a few little annoying things that were repaired in a day with the right skills.
