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 !
