Phosphorus Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 But DH has gone out and it has now started to rain All the slabs for the base and the posts were also delivered this morning. Getting exciting now, however all I can see is a levelled sand area - not sure if the rain will make it slowly migrate down the garden - we slope Now all I need is a cube and some chooks Going to look at another breeder tomorrow (well the hens not the breeder himself ) Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Going to look at another breeder tomorrow (well the hens not the breeder himself ) You never know...he might be worth a second glance! What a nuisance about the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 I managed to mow the lawn just before it started - should be glad about that I suppose. I just want to see slabs down Should be good - I think we are looking at 13 feet by about 10 feet with the cube outside. Have you ordered your cube yet Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 No. I prefer to deal with a human being and couldn't get through on the phone yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I thought you were having a walk-in run, Egluntine? Shame about the "typical Bank Holiday weather", Andrea. I know how exciting it is building a run. I chose to do mine in January, but at least it stayed dry for most of it. I did manage to get 3 apple trees planted at the allotments today though, before the downpour began. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 You can have a walk in run with a cube can't you Now I meant to go out and get compost for a blueberry bush but.... planting 3 apple trees sounds good to me Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I am having a walk in run. One of those flytesofancy wotsits. 18' x9'. A gardener was here on Wednesday to clear the area I have earmarked for it, so phase one is underway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Oooh was beginning to wonder whether that would have been cheaper for us as well. That sounds lovely - will have to look it up now - I love those runs on their site. We have the weldmesh, posts slabs and sand now - still to get the roof stuff - I'm sure if we added it all up the Flytesofancy one would probably have worked out cheaper and DH would have had a weekend (or maybe that was his idea.....hmmnn ). Ours will be walk in as well - can't wait. Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Very very nice - just looked Maybe ours will work out slightly cheaper (I hope ). Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Hi I had the same problem as you, the OH was happily getting the ground ready for my new run when the rain started. He came in and has now gone out walking dogs. I hope he gets more done tomorrow as it comes Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 I am dreading it is going to be worse tomorrow -they keep talking about snow coming further and further south by Monday Couldn't actually believe we had such a dry day today as it was Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
