Can't afford an Eglu?
« on: May 09, 2010, 02:08:24 pm »
How about one of these?:



And actually, despite being a bit cold in winter, I can't see why the   :chook: s wouldn't be quite at home in there! (well, at least its fox-proof, and as long as they've installed some ventilation..... ;D)

Tell you what.... from the sound of our washing machine on spin cycle, its not going to last more than a few more loads anyway. I'll happily turn it into a henhouse for you for well, how about £180, which is only half the price of an Eglu   :D? 

Come to think of it, our oven's on the blink as well...... or would that be too ironic?  ;D

Wow!!! Love it, my brother made a raised bed from an old fridge!!! You could have a garden full of white goods full of livestock and veg!! I thought my VW would make a great dog home but it's a bit too good to get destroyed just yet!!! Oh, I did have the inside of my old oven in the garden for the chickens to use to shelter when they ate thier food but I have just put it ready to go to the tip!!

When I moved out from my parents all I had fitted into one of these!!! Living lightly it was back then and how cluttered is life now - can I borrow your van and go away for a few days in it?? It would make me feel young again  ;D :&>
