WitchHazel Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Congratulations egluntine!! Is it purple or is it lilac? I thought lilac, but now I'm not so sure. When is your FoF run coming? Hazel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Oh heck. Good luck. I have persuaded Saint Richard...the site manager where I have my little jobette to put it together for me. Hopefully over the w/e. Then I rather fancy having some railway sleepers along side it and need to fill it with Aubiose etc.....so I reckon it will be another week before we are up and running.

Phosphorus Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I can really picture me phoning the breeder Saturday and rescheduling chooks for following weekend She will love that - might not even be able to do it Need the next few days without rain - so what does it do today: pour all day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Many congrats Egluntine You have such im-peck-able taste! I think buying a tailor made run is a good idea. I really enjoyed building ours but it took yonks because of the cruddy weather. Are Flytesofancy erecting the run for you too? Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Then I rather fancy having some railway sleepers along side it Oh Eglutine that will look really fab! I cant wait to see the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Where are you getting your run from? I'm getting it from **Flytesofancy**. Can't wait for everything to be up and running! Have changed my signature btw, Thanks for the reminders! What size are you getting for a run? By the way the purple cube is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'm getting an 18' x9' run Susan. Richard from work is putting it together for me, Kev. Him Indoors doesn't do anything involving screwdrivers and hammers I keep going out and having a little play with the cube. It seems well put together...no sticking etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I've never had a 'handy' OH either Egluntine. Well, Phil is good, but he doesn't live here and I don't like to ask... I've got to be pretty nifty at DIY over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey Road Girl Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Egluntine, the arrival of your Cube is a major event in chickenry. And on Shakespeare's birthday as well. In a word, gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbfhpunk Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I keep going out and having a little play with the cube.

Egluntyne Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 My walk in run was delivered this aft. It is now in the side passage waiting to be put together. No leaks in the cube so far even though it poured here yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moomin Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Egluntine I missed this topic, (I tend to hover about on the the Chickens one more ). Congrats on getting your cube, and the run. I bet you can't wait to see it all up and together. I am a big fan of railway sleepers, we use them in our garden, for raised beds etc - very rustic!! And you can balance some nice pots on 'em to 'soften the look'!! I have a chunk of left over sleeper in my chook run at the moment too, like a little perch - they are using it a lot!
