That's gonna be a cracker Plum! I'm so impressed with your grass, steps, your concrete base and your stained panels More piccies as you make progress please!

[laurmurf]

oh my!

It's the making of a Plum Palace!

[Plum]

Thanks Tutti and Laurie, I like that 'Plum Palace'

 

One bonus of taking your time, my new turf has had time to get going before the girls are let loose on it.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I'm impressed already . It looks like something out of a botanical gardens .

[scarlettohara]

It's going to be fantastic - can you come and build me one

[Lewis]

Doesn't the garden look different already!

 

Its well on the way then! Colour of the panels is good

[Plum]

Thanks, we are now both exhausted. Got as far as erecting all sides, remade a couple of panels and roof frame is on. Yet to cover roof and put doors in and finish cube hole. OH is now

 

One door is going nowhere except to back of run for adjusting weather proofing but we had to move the whole lot back to secure the run to the sleepers. So much for my great plan . But we put weatherproofing on most of that side and I can cover door or not depending on rain.

 

Just sorting out some progress pics.

Just sorting out some progress pics.

 

Goody!

[Plum]

Some progress pics

 

 

We used an old door to square things up (forgot it had been trimmed to fit )

 

Pointless door

Door with a point

 

 

A lot of pictures I'll let him sleep he did very well.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That really is a work of art . What a beautiful setting too .

[abwsco]

Oooh, it's coming along so well and I am so jealous of your garden from what I can see of it.

[Plum]

Thanks, my garden is nothing special but with lots of chicken compost and the girls on the top bit for a month it is coming on pretty well

[Tutti Frutti]

WOWIE!

 

That's a beauty! Congrats, well worth the wait! Can't wait to see the finished pics with chooks in residence

[Christian]

VERY impressive Plum. Looks cool and a lovely setting

[ubereglu]

That looks great!

[Margaret]

Blow the Chickens, you could rent it out as a holiday let

I thought my peckingham Palace was but I now have Plum envy which is not a good thing to have.

Must work on OH, I need more stuff and paint and green things for my garden

[Tutti Frutti]

Bingo! That's it! A lovely log-cabin in the woods?... You should call it... (ready?)

very witty

[scarlettohara]

[batcatz]

Wow, that looks great! I see you have left room for a chicken watching bench outside the run.

[chick wiggle]

WOW!!! Plum! That is WELL worth the wait, it looks amazing. It has to be one of the nicest runs ive seen, the setting looks like it was made for the run. Its gonna look brilliant when you get your chooks in there

[Plum]

Thanks, I'm pleased with how it's looking. It looks so much bigger than I expected, I hope the neighbours don't complain .

 

The area where I could put a bench is where the cube is going. Not much time for watching there is always something to be done with them. I will make some sort of seat though and drinks table and foot rest and ................

[Cooks]

looking good PLum, sorry for the delay I love those steps too!
