Poorly chicken

[Ain't Nobody Here]

The gardener reckoned we need some cement under our slabs (especially where the run's going) . Not wanting to put a spanner in your works or anything . Having said that, I laid a slab path straight onto soil alongside and under our eglu and it was fine .

Sadly, there was a fatality though . I brought my fork up and there was a froggie skewered on the end . I assumed it was already dead when I speared it but later I saw another one (live) so I think I've killed its partner .

 

Sorry - I had to laugh at this

 

Sounds like you are making good progress, digging is very calming

Does he mean mixed cement or just cement and sand mix? Cement and sand mix was my plan

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I think cement and sand mix . You know your stuff, I wouldn't have had a clue .

I have been reading http://www.pavingexpert.com/layflag1.htm

Cement and sand mix will hold the clsbs in place I believe.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Eeek . That's all a bit technical .

 

I'd better watch out for the "5 dollops of mortar" when my path gets laid tomorrow . Should I get the oats in now, do you think ?

 

There's a bit of strimming going on outside and another bloke's turned up - not quite sure what's he's for . He just seems to be watching .

[Guest]

where are all the photos? why don't you have a seperate thread just for piccies?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

You just want to have an ogle at my workmen don't you . Well, you can't, they're mine . (And actually, they're nothing to look at anyway . Although I quite like the head honcho gardener . He's not here today though .)

[Guest]

just get out there with your camera will ya!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Hmmmm, not sure if you deserve to see the photos now .

 

I can't decide whether to post progress as it happens or all together at the end .

 

Oh, alright then, seeing as I've taken a couple of photos already . No workmen involved, I'm afraid . Just chickens and dog .

 

Homes and Gardens it ain't

 

"Better eat that grass while you can, girls . I'll be the lookout."

[Falkor]

oooh def need pics of the head honcho garden! I love a man covered in mud

 

Love the pic of chooks eating last of grass and lookout

 

Well I have moved the and cleared away all the Aubiose and bark I have filled the green wheelie bin (I hope they take it, it is HEAVY).

 

Chooks can`t work out where the door to the run is so still wandering round at the back of the Eglu....looks like they will be put to bed tonight

[Cooks]

ahh bless them..

[Guest]

is the walk-in run going against the garage wall? I love to see the progress

whatcha planting in the raised beds? you could grow some raspberries or currants up the other wall or along the far wall?

[BarbaraJ]

Looking all ready oh dear did ALL your grass go?

[Ain't Nobody Here]

This is the plan, Poet . I've got the little wall a bit wrong but otherwise it should look much like that.

 

The grass disappeared because the girls had their run on the bit of grass about where they're standing in the first photo .

 

[hillfamily]

and another bloke's turned up - not quite sure what's he's for . He just seems to be watching .

 

that's probably what he's employed to do

 

if you're getting sawing withdrawal symptons, you can always visit me .......... I've got to hack back the clematis, ivy and pear tree right back to the wall so my WIR can go as close to the wall as possible :D

[Cooks]

dont tell ANH that!!!, she'll be over there saw glinting before you know it.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

 

Here's a picture of my gardener (he's on the left) from his website - sshh, don't tell anyone, imagine if he saw this .

[Redwing]
