clucky1 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My mother-inlaw has sent me down an article entitled 'Home for posh and Becks' which was in the Telegraph on Saturday. Did anyone read it ?? It is about a former lieutenant colonel who now makes AMAZING (if - but a bit OTT) mansions and castles for chickens and ducks. There is a palladian villa - a scottish baronial mansion (exclusive to scotland) - a gothic banqueting house and even Inniskilling castle. My hubby went bezerk when he found out how much my 'girlies' cube cost - so I don't think I could warrant the £3,000.00 for one of this (maybe will bare in mind when my lottery numbers come up - or I sell a best seller) Can't see POSH on her hands and knees cleaning one out somehow. Have a look at them: www.heytesbury.info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 £3,290.00 !!!!! good grief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Very pretty...But how practical I wonder. My late Dad used to make Dolls Houses (and made innumerable hutches and kennels for pets over the years). I can confidently say that he could have made one of those for about 20 quid...and it would have looked every bit as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I love the duck house on the pond! If I had a win on the lottery I'd buy one....but still keep my eglus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I wonder how many they sell every week? If any? I was rather taken with the barn bird table, but even if I had the money I'm not sure the birds would like it any more than the feeders I have at the moment. And how would you keep the squirrels out?

Guest Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 yep thats Mum. Of course SHE bought the cube for our 3 girls so they would "have more room". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Well of course I'd have to have the Scottish castle . Why is it POA though . Is it worse than £3,000 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I wonder how many they sell every week? If any? You would only have to sell one a week to make quite a reasonable living. It's practically all profit. And people criticise Eglu owners for having more money than sense and wanting to be trendy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
