Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[Lewis]

Just a few photos

 

Started assembling the panels ...

 

Today

Finished the sides, moved the wendy house + Go in today and creosoted the wendy house

 

Still have the roof to do

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I've said it on the other thread but it's worth saying again . Wow, that's fabulous .

 

I'll bet you'll have hours of fun making a playground for them in there .

[Olly]

Wow!

 

That looks fabulous. I wish I'd got the space for one that size. Keep us updated, won't you!

[ClaireG]

[chelsea]

[emchook]

[Laura & CTB]

[Cooks]

[Space Chick]

Magnificent job Lewis

[Kit]

Brilliant, love the wendy house!

[Plum]

Getting there Lewis. It's so big

[Lewis]

 

Have been looking at everyones photos for ideas to steal Have got some logs for the floor and shelf brackets to add perches

 

Hopefully get it all sorted next weekend because we're at a wedding the one after

[Tutti Frutti]

COR! That's brilliant! And ENORMOUS!

 

For perches, I thoroughly recommend the ballustrade poles from Wickes for £1.42 My girls climb a long log up to a shelf where they can climb onto assorted roost bars (=ballustrades!) to sunbathe on.

 

Can't wait to see more updates. Shame it's Monday tomorrow!

[batcatz]

Wow. You make it look so easy. It looks great. I am

[legend21]

Have you had a chance to do any more today?

 

Well Lewis what are you using to hold your panels together? Did you go for the scenery type hinges? Why the little low door? Is that for the little people to use for the Wendy House or is it a pop hole for very tall chickens

I put the roof panels on, but not corrugated plastic yet

 

Just went for boring screws in the end - 70mm gold easydrive ones

Would have been about £60 just for the hinges I wanted to use

 

Little door is for children, or thats what I can say - will use it to FR, and was thinking it could go behind the eglu's if we ever swapped round

 

Ikea kroken rail in:

Attempt at free standing perch:

[Plum]

Oh yes just right for the eglus ...and little people

 

Hmm yes I would have gone for the screws. The rail and perch look good, have they tried it yet?

Nugget was put on it but jumped straight off

Think I'll have to make the top flatter

[Plum]

Oy Lewis we know you've been getting on with it today. Time for some news

Haven't been to B&Q to get the roof screws yet, so no news there ... did make another perch, put the shelf in and some old kiddy bookshelves (half matches the Go) though

 

 

Kiddy shelves:

Perches

My bargain £5 asda shoe rack:

[Plum]

Brilliant, so nearly there Love all the perches and colour coordination you have a really good run there. Hope the weather stays dry.

[emchook]

Its a beauty Lewis !

[legend21]

love it lewis, and is it too late for me to go to asda for a shoe rack? Did you get it a long time ago or are they still around?
