Snowy Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Look what we built today! Chateau Cluck! Obviously it's not quite finished, but I can't believe how much we managed to do today. Alan has promised to finish it off tomorrow (I have to go to work ) I've done an album of our progress in the omlet gallery: http://club.omlet.co.uk/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=16073 Total cost so far? £30!

Lesley Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 That's a great area for them - and I love the green and purple Eglus in the background I can't wait to see it finished now Snowy - I hope todays rain won't hold him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Ahh, the serious risk of beheading. I know that well when we do digging and the chickens "assist." It looks great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah 2 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Any tips? £30 thats brilliant. My hubby has no clue about DIY but is going to attempt to build a run this weekend. But I have a feeling it could be more like Destroy It Yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Any tips? £30 thats brilliant. My hubby has no clue about DIY but is going to attempt to build a run this weekend. But I have a feeling it could be more like Destroy It Yourself. Actually that's just what Alan is like - I have to supervise very carefully! The wood was from pallets that he was given at work (he did ask!), the netting was from freecycle. The £30 was for the thousands of screws, nails and assorted hardware he just had to have from screwfix before he could start the job!

chelsea Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 FAB did you do all that in one day?! what time did you start and finish? I need to know this so I can go and moan and nag my husband for not doing enough around here !! Cant wait to see it finished. I think you should leave the bushes/plants in there.
