Well, I am fairly excited because we got most of the tin on this afternoon.
We were both a bit busy earlier on but in the afternoon the rain held off mostly long enough to get out and get the tin up
Already walking in you notice a big shelter and temperature difference!
The chooks seemed happy milling about in there too pretty much straight away
We (I say ‘we’ but it was Jeff putting in all the effort with the drill today) didn’t get the last two pieces on… the back one that you see in the above photo- ‘we’ needed to cut a chook sized access hole in the tin so they will be able to pop into the ‘duck yard’ via the short cut. (I fully intend to make a 70’s style beaded curtain for their door by the way…)
And the small plate for the front of the coop also needed to be cut to size. (The tin guy cut it wrong to what size I asked for, but what I asked for was also WAY wrong so Jeff had to sort that out too. Oopsie)
Really looks the part now hey?
By the time the work on the last panels were done, it was getting quite dark and also raining heavily, so they will have to just wait a few days now (Jeff has some upcoming nightshifts)
That sheltered area had remained fairly dry in the recent continual rain which is fabulous. Its going to make SUCH a difference this winter!
OK… some soap…
The cut for the Oatmeal, Milk and Honey Fragrance… I put a scrub in the bottom layer too!
And the Crisp Green Apple… for a straight colour not too agonisingly boring so thats good!
Face Washers and Face Scrubbies! Planning on tying the sets up (One face washer and 4 scrubbies) together with jute and a little bauble that you can’t really see in my dodgy photo
However… am thrilled with the look of using my (ahem) bread basket to display them.
The beginnings of a new basket. (Because I don’t think I have enough projects in progress…)
I will leave you with an image of what happens to cats when the fire gets to roaringly hot!
Have a great day everyone!
Cheers!
the red tin with the cream colored shade cloth looks amazing together! bet the chooks are loving the upgrades 🙂
Thanks Lee! I am glad We went with the red! And so far I think the chooks are enjoying a place to pop in and have a snack out of the wind and rain – even if its not quite done yet!
