Yolky Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 My husband went out yesterday to get the stuff to make our walk in run. It rained all day yesterday and today isn't much better. He managed to cut the wood for both of the sides and just as he was going to do the mesh the security folks rang from his work and he had to go in to check on it as, once again, the alarm people didn't have the blummin code!!!! I cannot wait to get the run done, I have lots of ideas for things inside it to keep the girls happy. On a good note it was another three eggies day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I can't stop the rain for you, but I can bring you some sunshine. It has rained every day for the past week and this is the view from my front porch today. Won't last long though, this is New England. Another storm appraching as I enjoy the view. Edited for spelling. Edited August 10, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yolky Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 That is a beautiful view, thanks Angels4. Well the mitre saw has been doing the hokey cocey all afternoon with the rain lol. We do have the 2 sides done and the up bits of wood for the front cut. I really hope we can get some sunshine next weekend so we can get it finished. I am looking at the cuprinol shades to paint it with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 That looks lovely Angels4 I have some sun but think its going to rain. Just had lunch after watching Mamma Mia (again!). I so want to see that. The trailers make it look as tho it could become one of my favorite films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Angels4 - it didn't lose anything second time around. Mind you I don't mind watching films again and again. We have a huge collection of dvds and I love watching them, usually whilst I'm ironing. Must have a greek thing going on at the moment as I watched Shirley Valentine (again) on Saturday. Pure bliss! Actually I'm just about to watch The Princess Bride whilst cooking dinner and I must have seen that about 4 times.... You should definitely see Mamma Mia though, you'll be laughing and crying.

Mumpty Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 My DH has been in the rain all weekend to complete my walk in run and it's beautiful (well, as far as a run can be!). When I've sussed how to upload pics I will post them to bore you all. We're off to Dartmoor this week - whooppee! more rain!!!! It's going to be wellies and kagouls for all and I've already decided that the days will be filled with searching out cream tea sops and the nights getting plastered while playing quiz games on the ps2. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yolky Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yea have a great time Well it is the end of the day and I really should actually thank the rain as my husband accidently cut too many pieces of wood and so the chooks instead of having a 3m x 2m run they now have 4m x 2m lol!!! I was well chuffed All sides of the run are now together and this week we will add the weldmesh and I am going to get some cuprinol in a lovely green for the wood and then on the weekend we will join it all together and then do the roof, then the slabs need to be moved from the eglu run to the new spot and then twill be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumpty Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That doen't sound too good, maybe it's due to the damp weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
