Hi All

After a few months of work (seems like forever) here is our effort. Hope you like it.

 

(there use to be a greenhouse on this site)

 

(Making some progress)

 

(this is the hard and boring part)

 

(nearly there)

 

(taking shape, just about to get the sand in ready for block laying)

 

(this was the first attempt at laying the blocks)

 

(this was the second attempt at laying the blocks)

 

(this was the third attempt at laying the blocks. Whoooo, and the final one too)

 

(just finishing off cutting the blocks)

 

(the finished article)

 

(now for the WIR)

 

(taking shape)

 

(looking good)

 

 

(all done, just got to put the Cube on the end)

 

(it took me over 6 hours to get the Cube fitted to the end of the WIR, long time, but it does look good)

 

(the residents are in and having a look round)

 

(what do you think??)

 

(just showing the curve so the roof can still slid)

 

(inside the WIR)

 

(another inside shot)

 

(Liking her new home)

 

I hope you all like my new home for our 4 girls. Next on the list is to get a remote webcam thats going to stream 24/7 live on the internet. Oh, and get the garden back to how it use to be as it looks like a war zone at present.

 

Totally under estimated how much stuff we would need for the ground works, Ordered 1 ton of type 1 gravel and need to buy 2 ton more and needed 2 tone of sand in the end. Took around 750 block pavers and 8 railway sleepers as well.

 

Anyway, let me know what you think.

 

Cheers

Gary

I got a good deal on the blocks.............

I'm just beyond words, that is fabulous. No wonder your girl looks so regal she needs to be to live in such a place.

[Dizzy-Deb]

Wow..thats fantastic. I really love it .

 

Did you make the run yourself or order it in. ?

 

I so love looking at everyones set ups it gives me great ideas.

[scarlettohara]

Is that your run from Chirpy Coops? I'm really pleased with mine

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That's absolutely fabulous . What a clever idea leaving one panel off for the cube to sit against .

 

I'm off to add some of those pictures to the Chicken Run Inspiration photos thread .

[taz1967]

Is that your run from Chirpy Coops?

 

Yes the run is from Chirpy Coops, But it has been modified a fair bit from what they supplied to me.

[scarlettohara]

No-one put my WIR on the chicken run inspirations photos thread 'stamps feet' and I put up hanging baskets

[beach chick]

that is amazing!!!! very posh indeed.

[poachedegg]

Well done - looks very posh with the block paving!

[beach chick]

it looks as if you have kept the 'undercube space' for the girls as well? if so that is very clever...

[taz1967]

Yes, Thought we could use that space at a later stage if we introduce others to our girls. But for now thay have the space under the Cube. Funny thing is they all rather go lay under cube than lay in run lol..

Fantastic
