Pig Ark.
« on: January 03, 2014, 07:45:28 pm »
I saw this last week and had it delivered on a lorry this morning. Karen thinks that it should be a bit shinier for the money that I paid but I reckon I got a real bargain. If you think that if your daft enough, you can pay three or four hundred quid for a small chicken shed that only fits four or five birds, then 200 quid delivered wasn't at all out of the way. its basically very sound and extremely substantial.
. I don't think that I'll bother but I suppose that a lick of paint would really smarten it up.

It looks very fine and heavy enough to withstand current weather conditions!

The webbing on the top is so that it can be picked up with a tractor and moved. :pig:

I'm the one in green by the way.  :innocent:









We moved Pru to her new house this morning.









She soon settled in and tomorrow, I'm picking her suitor up.














I feel much happier now that Pru has her own place with plenty of fresh air and grass. I'm sure that she is too.

Pru's husband Patrick has been playing the field in Whitchurch for the last six months but today I picked him up and brought him home to make an honest woman of her. We landed back at around 4.00pm just in time for bed. Pru was less than impressed.

Lovely pics, looks like Pru is standing on the door step with a rolling pin waiting for him to get back from the pub.
Looks like a nice piece of land for them too.

He's a good big lad that Patrick. I'm sure it'll be job done in no time at all.

I am green with envy over your unflooded fields and luscious thick grass - it looks like you live in paradise!

That lush grass is where the horses pooped and wee'd all through the summer. Horses wont eat the grass where they spend a penny, so hopefully the pigs will freshen things up before I get it ploughed and reseeded. :fc:

Sow looks well pleased with her new home, not quite impressed  with the lodger though.

That looks excellent!

Bodger, what amount of feed does a pig that size eat per day?

I agree thats a fine looking animal.

Am I the only one who mentally sees dotted lines where it will be jointed?   :roflanim:
