Eglu Go Up (with 2m run) - South Wales

[millymollymandy]

Just thought I would post I piccie of how my WIR is going. It is perhaps a stupid time to be out in the garden but now my OH has started he can't be stopped!

 

We are going to build around the chooks at the mo then take the run out and redo the base when it is nearer completion.

I wonder how many more chooks I can get in there!

[good_egg]

Oh, it looks fab. Lovely colour (we are thinking similar to match front doors). Are you making the panels or did you buy them? Super exciting, keep us updated!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Didn't know you lived in Australia .

 

It does look great, though!

[christyrose12]

Hehe. Liked the australia comment. Love the colour. I always seem to start projects in the winter - like digging ponds etc Think I just like being outside.

[millymollymandy]

How bizarre the picture is the right way up on my computer but on my phone it's upside down!?

 

My OH made the panels himself and isn't too chuffed that I wanted two doors and an egg port. Wanted to try and get it finished tomorrow but there maybe too much snow for that.

The paint is Ronseal Woodland Trust Wood Sage from B and Q think it looks quite good.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

I just thought everyone would see the same as me - upsidedown. I'm glad you knew what I was talking about - bit of a random comment otherwise .

[good_egg]

It's the right way up here on my phone, thought it might be ANH who had flipped!

[mimi5]

It's upsidedown on my net book...Aussie style!! It's the exact colour I painted my ark!! Good taste! The snow and cold are a real pain at the mo!! I'm struggling to keep the drinkers from freezing and the pekins are stir grazy...churning up the wood chip in their run.......maybe the're trying to break out??

[Princess Leia]

Strange, it's upside down on my PC as well.

[good_egg]

upside down at work! How strange!

 

Still a nice run, but much harder to keep the chickens in!

[Cheeky Chooky]

Looking good Nowt wrong with doing it now...my OH put the WIR up for our Ex-Batts on Christmas Day! He also recently painted the lovely egg box that he made for me, in the same colour as your WIR

[millymollymandy]

Hi just thought I would share how my WIR is going. Managed to get out between the snow and rain and get the wall done. Next is the roof and putting some woodchip down so the chooks can finally get out of the mud!

 

 

 

 

Oh is quite proud of having built the chooks a bay window

[mimi5]

Wow, that looks !!!!Well done to both of you!!!! I think it's a good idea you've had to attach it to your house/wall!!! Should give even more shelter and strength to the structure!!! Lucky girls you have!

[Cheeky Chooky]

It's looking good!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

That's looking fab .

[LottyJ1]

Lovely colour - what is it??

[millymollymandy]

Things are against me at the mo will I ever finish my WIR?

 

Got up this morning to put the roof on and there was bright sunshine, by the time I've had my brekkie it's absolutely throwing it down.

 

Because I've dug out all the old smelly stuff from the run its now even more muddy than when I started!

 

Also having woodchip problems, I emailed a tree surgeon ages ago who said I could have some free woodchip now he has disappeared and I can't get in contact. B and q seem to have stopped doing woodchip also so it might be back to bark which I know isn't ideal but would stop the swamp!

 

On the plus side the chooks are loving the new space however muddy it is.

[good_egg]

you can order woodchip online (flyte so fancy do,sure there are others).... looking good, v jealous - I cant get cotswold to answer my height question so i cant submit plans Love the colour!

[Mrs_B]

I've bought two lots of woodchip from Bark UK.

 

They have a really good deal if you buy bulk, and delivery is quick and easy!

I really love the colour of you WIR!

[millymollymandy]

Finally finished (ish) hooray!

 

 

 

All it needs is a corner of the roof putting on and some perches etc but its basically finished

[millymollymandy]

Forgot to say thank you to Mrs B for suggesting bark-uk for woodchip. I discovered they are half an hour away so went down there and got the wood chip loads cheaper!

[mimi5]

Ah well done!! Looks lovely, bet the chooks love it!!! I'm just

[missusmac]

This looks fab I haven't even got my Omlet WIR out of the boxes yet because of the weather Hoping to make a start this weekend. Also love the colour of your WIR. Your OH is very clever - mine would never be able to do this

[LottyJ1]

Looks fab!
