Great picture womble ! Do you know where we can buy a copy.
I am making a winter shelter for the ducks. It will be within the barn.
Simples ? NO ! 
Take a look at the list of jobs I have to do to acheieve this.
1. Empty the mid section of the barn of 20 - 30 year old fossilised cow dung.
2. Move stone blocks so I have a route for the wheelbarrow .
3.Clear soe veg beds so I have somewhere to tip the manure on.
3. Move yest more blocks of stone and sort them by size and shape.
4.Mend a large hole in the stone barn (walls about 80 cm thick) and fashion a doorway.
5. Fit a wooden doorframe then hang an old doorwe have.
6. Collect 8 discarded pallets from back of shops in town.
7. Build an internal wall with pallets , a few long beams and some more stone blocks.
9. Move 3 hutches inside barn.
10. Clear land outside barn door ( dug up nettle roots a few days ago and burnt them).
11. Move yet more bits of stone that I found under the nettles.
12. Drive in some fence posts ( need to go up the woods, cut some chestnut poles then make the posts).
13. hang a wire fence.
14. Drag a discarded bath from the bottom of a ditch under electric fence ( it is in a field down the lane ( Have to wait until heffers stop dropping their calves)).
16 Push and pull bath back to our patch.
15. Sink the bath into the ducks winter garden .
ALL BECAUSE THE DUCKS DON'T LIKE MUDDY FEET ! 
Oh MAK...
what dedication. I am having to reconfigre the bottom of our yard including moving the cement mixer, a couple of engines and an axle for my morris minor. Our compost bins 3. a whole lot of pan tiles, tonnes of soil and sand, timber etc etc for the new deep beds, another compost pile, and loads of tree trunk lengths/rounds ( which i have been attacking the last few days )
Even tho my hands are blistered my back hurts. I really enjoy sawing and splintering logs.. Go figure!~?... I do get perverse satifaction.... Our stove starts to get hungry this time of year!
All this has to be done by hand/barrow and I have to find places for it all to go.
This is before we put the free draining compound floor in and construct the actually run and then move the wendy house... phew....
Its better than slogging a 9 to 5 anyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
worth it neebor... Robbie
